Title: Twin headlights.............
Post by: vdub virgin on 21 February 2008, 18:28
love the twin lamps on kells golf!!! looks ace! :cool:seen loads like them on ebay for 80 quid a pair.......
but are they as good a quality as the morette quad lamps that were 1st available a few years back?remember them bin nearly 300 quid!
or jst cheap remakes that never quite fit properly!
let me know if uve bought em and what the build qualitys like

quality is better than morrete if you get genuine hella like mine :)

awesome light output and even better if like me u pop a HID kit in them, they are projector headlights too where as the morrete aint (which is one of the reasons i got them over morrete)

also hella were a dealer fit option when the mk 3 was new, so you get the OEM look too :)

well, they seem to be going up in price lately do the hella ones, and fetching more than any of the others, you will pay around 100 for a good condition second hand pair from off ebay, mine have the smoked lenses and the cross hair stle inner lams which are also smoked

the hella copy ones on ebay go for 89 quid brand new, iv actually seen a set of these in the flesh and they looked spot on if im honest...and looked exactly like mine although they had normal (not smoked) glass, still projector tho :cool:

just done a quick search for you dude, these are the Hella look ones what my mate had, they looked identical in every way to my Genuine hella units, the only difference was he didnt have smoked lenses (the ebay pic dont do them justice, they look exactly like hella in real life)

buy it now 89 quid: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-GOLF-Mk3-TWIN-HEADLIGHTS-CONVERSION-VR6-GTi-NEW_W0QQitemZ290207257253QQihZ019QQcategoryZ9889QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
