grill swap is an easy mod - i think the golf magazine did a 'how to' quite recently - why u would want square lights i really dont know but i do have a suggestion for u.

jazzygm a member here wants to change his jetta front for a standard one, maybe if you pm him u could do a straight swap???

Cheers vixter..

I think that square lights look good, it goes with the boxy mk2 shape....So there

Cheers for your suggestion..

Round lights give better light output.

Thats why Im doing the conversion on my mk3.

[pauldpgc]

Even if i use those blue xenon bulbs?.

[Cupra Turbo]

Yep.

I use Philips VisionPlus bulbs in my square headlights and their still pathetic.

So Im gonna upgrade to Quads (round lights for the mk3) and stick Philips VisionPlus in .. or upgrade them using the HID kit (xenon   )

[pauldpgc]

ok then,, thats that  idea out the window....

I had a mk3 and yes the lights were a bit pitiful.

I think you should go for the hid kit myself

depending on price though.

corrado lights look mean on the mk2. there a bit wider and thinner than the rallye items, but think a lot of modifacation to the front panel is needed to bolt them on. theres a westside mk2 in the pvw or golf magazine, cant remember which one with them. they are the nicest square headlights imo.

Yeah but ?275 for a HID kit is alot of dollar...

faaaaaaaaaaaaack'n hell, . you can buy whole cars for that.

You WILL need that vodka aswel,
But just think that the top of the line cars have them as standard, I would hate to crash one of them and pay for that at a dealer.
