Headlights question
« on: 18 November 2011, 10:54 »


What are these lights for?
I've seen a few mk4's that have orange bulbs there and it looks much better.

Fog lights

On MK4's with Xenons you don't  have fogs, just a twin indicator setup

So can they just be swapped for indicator bulbs?

There is a mod you can do; there's a how-to kicking about here or the web  :smiley:
