MK4 Headlights

[WillGTTDi150]

Sorry if this seems like a silly question but does anyone know whether the light casing is bonded on or clipped on??

Thanks

[Rhyso]

its bonded mate; have heard you can heat them up in the oven to unset the glue; either that or maybe use a hairdryer

I was worried that'd be the answer!! Next question: Does anyone know a reputable modifyer in the Surrey/ Sussex area that will be able to fit angel eyes on my MK4?

[Rhyso]

hang on do you mean how are the headlights fixed to the car?? or are you on about splitting the headlight unit apart??

if its the former its a series of torx screws but you need to remove the front bumper; takes about 20 minutes with a mate

[Ridg]

there are numerous angle eye kits for the MK4 (why you would want to is beyond me though)

like Rhyso says the actual headlight is held in by a couple of torx screws, you would have to remove the front bumper to get at all of them though.

If you want different style headlights have you seen these:

I know they are expensive, But you get a different look from standard and keep to genuine vw parts?? (I hate cheap aftermarket things like angel eye- just my opinion tho)
