Title: Which lights...?
Post by: logeyboy on 30 September 2008, 11:29

I need 2 new headlights (full lamp) as mine have rusted a little.

Just wondered which replacements are best to fit and where's best to get them.

I'm on a budget so nothing too pricey

Thanks

Try VW because sometimes they work out cheaper! If not try GSF or www.breakeryard.com

Always work well for me  :smiley:

You forgot to mention the 60/55w Xenon blue tint H4 bulbs.

blue tint bulbs will result in less useable light on the road...

i have had a few different brands of lamps on the golf and can safely say that hella are the best quality and beam pattern.

bulb retaining clip brackets snap on the lucas lamps and the bosch lamps have a crap beam pattern!

The uprated loom really works!

My fella is in the process of making a really nice one for my car. If you're handy with electric stuff it's not difficult to do yourself  (I could understand it so must have been simple!) :smiley:

I'm going to get brighter bulbs once it's done, with the golf's nice round headlights they won't be too blinding for other drivers, unlike people who drive modern tall cars with wonky shaped headlights with those horrible flashy-blue headlights  :angry:
