I'm after some sort of smoked headlights for my MK3, I was thinking of morette's but I don't think it's a wise investment moneywise, so if anyone knows of any decent looking smoked headlights, can you post pics/links for me to browse?
Thanks in advance!
-
don't know any, but having seen a bloke i know put morrette/hella quads on his mk3 all i can say is :sick:
with lights you generally get what you pay for, some might be shiney and cool looking but suffer from bad/cheap construction which always shows up!
-
You can take apart your standard headlight and spray part of it black, so when you put it back together again, it looks darker. I have a link I think ( :laugh: ) just need to find it ....
LL ;)

I'm steering away from the morette's me thinks.
I just don't wanna shell out loads for lights that look crap... I could sell them on, but it's just the hassles really lol :P
Also - headlights with indicators, will this mean that they will work rather than the ones on the bumper or both?

Worth giving a try if your going to get new ones anyway. Btw the method they use can be varied, just use initiative.

I only paid £60 for mine & I don't they look crap.
-
£60? that's pretty decent.. i personally wouldnt go for them, but £60's the cheapest I've heard of them
-
Iw asn't implying they were crap, just in general don't wanna spend lots on something that's not worth it :)
And £60 is very f'ing cheap lol!
-
mine are the Hella with smoked glass..
i get more compliments and messages about these that i could shake a stick at..
pretty sought after now and expensive too if you find them in good nick
-

At a good price,
With the ones ive fitted im soon going to be making the sidelights (Outer ones) into my Indicators and smoothing the front bumper, See sig for mine fitted.

headlights tend to be a very individual thing and it generally has a lot to do with the colour of the car and the styling that is trying to be achieved
i will reiterate what ...joe has said though and that is to go for quality... if it means you are paying top dollar then so be it but don't buy cr@p as you'll just be wasting your money
