Title: MK2 headlight options
Post by: Breaker on 02 February 2007, 14:27

What options are there for mk2 headlight replacement.
I looked at angel eyes but they were LHD and i'm not so sure to my taste.

Also where are the best places to get them?


Cheers!

Angel eyes are a load of kak, they even look poop on BM's!

If you've got a four lamp grille, change all four otherwise it looks half assed attempt. My 16v has a complete crystal front end, but thats soon to change, nothing drastic, just a little bit subtle.

I'm not changing the headlamps, but the fogs and indicators.

My mate has the crosshairs with a debadged grille and big bumpers, it looks cool.
Me? I would go for for smoked Rallye lights and a debadged grille. And have smoked tails/indicators/fogs all round too.

From memory    www.tmtuning.com     has them

Smoked lights are a vag classic, going back to the rear of the URQ/Coupe, like we say round here "if you want crystal, buy a lexus"

Its a personal thing i guess, whatever floats ya boat. Mk2s are a nice canvas to start with anyway...

I've had trouble finding RHD crystals to be honest, so I'm staying OE. Not much of a fan of the crosshair lights and with 130/90w bulbs I don't want to blind oncoming traffic *too* much!
