...and they look just great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D
Recommended buy for Mk3 owners out there!!
Happy new year all!!!! :)
-
i've been thinkin about them too...
more details.. please... how much ? where from? how much do you actually have to replace?
my only concern is... i've got smoked side repeaters, and smoked rears.. if i put mk4 style ones on hte front, i think i'll have to put mk3 side repeaters on too

Hi there,
I was thinking axactly the same - smked rear and sides etc. But once you make the initial jump and go for it - its not that bad. They do look very good!!!
Well Im very happy with them. I bought these of ebay for ?95 (+ ?7 p+P). I know you can take a risk with what you buy off ebay but I saved a lot of money than if I was to buy them from a high street shop. I asked the guy loads of questions before hand and he had thousands of good feedback from other satisfied buyers so I thought what the hell!!!. They are In-Pro, Brand new, with bulbs, delivered within 2 daysand took me about 10-30mins to fit. Just unscrew the four screws and the plug socket o the back to take off your old ones and then reverse the procedure for fitting the Mk4 styled ones.
Depends on your personal taste but for me personally they do look excellent and I am glad I took the jump and bought them - if I can get a picture for you I will. But I believe there loads of pictures of Mk3's with Mk4 lamps here on this site - thats what swung it for me! And I am well pleased!!!!!! :)
Good Luck!!! :)
Happy New Year!!

Oh and one other thing - make sure they are for Right Hand Drive - not left hand drive!!!!!
All the best!!!

a nice pic of a black (pref black magic like mine) with smoked repeaters and mk4 lights might swing me.. theres a nice red one in the gallery here
what colours urs?
-
I looked at the Smoked mk4 lights, but there only LHD :'(
-
I got mine a couple of months back welll chuffed ;D
I also bought some headlight protectors to stop the lenses getting stone chipped. Worth ?30 me thinks in the long run ;)
-
Better late than never! Here's mine with the mk4 style lights fitted. ;)
-
ohhh does look nice...
have u got smoked indicators tho?
-
Yes I have got smoked indicators - but I dunno? Its not really tht bad I dont think? As you can see from the picture. I did have smoked headlamps on it before - but it all looked too dark for my liking.
But thats my view. You may think otherwise. But for me personally these clear mk4 style headlamps brighten her up bit! ;)
She looks 'happy' now! ;D Instead of all dark and moody! Which aint a bad thing? Just my own taste! :)

yeah i've got smoked ones on mine too.. i have wondered if the smokes would look outta place if i replaced the headlights with mk4 style ones.. thought if i did change the headlights that i'd have to change the indicators too
-
leave the smoked indicators and go for mk4 clear headlights. best mod you can make on a mk3 :)
can get them for 130 ish from a lot of places now or wait until the summer shows.
