1985 gti, what lights
« on: 02 April 2012, 18:43 »
Right back in a mk2... looking to keep things or put things back to original where possible

First its got all Read (US) style rear lights, am i right in thinking it should have the standard lights with the white and yellow on the lenses opposed to half smoked?

Also the heater panel has the snow flake, air con symbol on the first 3 pictures, the car does not have aircon, i assume this panel is not correct.

Correct - orange and red for a stock 85 model plus the heater panel is from another Golf if yours doesn't have air con.
