Title: Mk4 headlights on a mk3 golf
Post by: GTIDamo on 16 September 2008, 21:50: Hi I keep seeing MK3 golf gti's with mk4 headlights. Are these simply a plug and play or is some new wiring etc required?

Post by: beccasmk3gti on 16 September 2008, 22:34: u can buy mk4 style lights which fit straight in a mk3 like ive got or you can fit mk4 ones but need to cut some of ur car to get them in and then connect the plugs up.

i dont want the mk4 look.. i want the mk3 with a mk4 front end look..lol
just kidding mate, just asking thats all.. i`m not going to bother with all the work thats involved with doing all that. i like my mk3 as it is at the moment. could do with a blow over though.. paintwork is looking a little shabby..
i wouldnt mind a ratty looking mk3 though.. :grin:
p.s sorry for the hijack..

one of my most asked questions this, almost a PM a week :cool:
i got them through a contact i have, you cant find them on the bay from time to time, mine are genuine hella, but with the smoked covers removed and normal covers on instead painted my black colour, they also have smoked glass, you can get non hella ones at awesome i think for £145, they have smoked glass and look just like mine... deffo a realy cool look, i absolutly love mine
