Just taken my Hella quads and HID kit off my VR so I could fit a Vento front. Unsure whether to sell them or keep them lol.

I had mine done by a guy on ed38 however I believe mikester and couple of others on here have done them so might be best to put a thread up in the mk3 section.

tinting the lights is fairly easy, masking up the shiny surface is the only tricky bit http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=101167.0

I didn't mask mine off, just did them free hand. The masking tape pulls off the chrome otherwise

i used a little bit of silacone to seal them back up as i had it lying around but tbh it would have been fine to reheat the silacone that was already there.. is a simple yet effective mod for those that like the standard headlight shape.
