If they are off a later car they may have round headlight plugs and although they will fit the car you won't be able to plug them in as yours will have rectangle connectors.

Hella sell adapters for this and some pop up on eBay sometimes.
Golf MK3 1.8 auto and I didn't pay a grand for the "priveledge" :grin:, auto windows all round and a AC. Oh and I've got a luggage net you pricks!

Does that make my willy look bigger?

Oh yeah it's called Helda or something....

Didn't think that far ahead pal ha ha
Mine are in excellent condition from an L(94) GTI so should be the same fittings as yours.
Where abouts on the planet are you bud??
