Mk3 clear lenses.
« on: 16 April 2004, 12:33 »
I'm after Mk3 headlight replacements with the Mk4 look lenses?

What are the recommended UK spec (RHD, not EU LHD) clear lenses?

I was thinking about Angel Eyes, but not seen any good quality UK spec Angel Eyes out there...

Need the full kit, so I can do the install myself.

Recommended retailers / prices?

Ok here u go

Smoked Mk4 look for the mk3 are only LHD at the moment, but I'm sure by the end of the year they'll be RHD too. If you want to risk it, try: -

http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk/

Clear mk4 look are RHD and loasa places sell them, but I've heard people complaining cos the vision isnt too good to either side of the car, so poor when turning corners etc...

To buy them check these places

http://www.awesome-gti.co.uk

http://www.venommotorsport.com

http://www.eurocarparts.com/

The angel eyes headlights are also only LHD at the moment. But if you want to risk it, try: -

If you want the Hella smoked twin headlight conversion which is distributed by VW and wont lose you your Internal headligt adjustment (if you have it) try: -

http://www.eurocarparts.com/

Or your VW dealership.

Thanks BlackGTI! Great info!

Has anybody on the forum ordered the Hella lights from EuroCarParts?

Are they these ones?
http://www.hella.com/produktion/HellaPortal/WebSite/Internet_uk/HellaLtd/Products/Light/Facelift_HL/Golf_III/Golf_III.jsp

I've got the GTI equivalent cabriolet: halfblack rear and side lenses, twin headlights, heated leather inside, heated mirrors, etc.... everything is GTi spec or above...  but sadly the 8V Gti, rather than the 16V Gti, so no traction control... but anyhooo.... yes, I have the electrical headlight adjustment and would prefer to keep that.

I am just looking for the "cleaner" Mk4 look I'd like it to look somewhere in the middle.... a Mk3.5 if you will.

Yes, me... but i got the smoked dual's.

They dont look too good if u dont have smoked fogs, indicators etc ... and ive seen em on a yellow Golf GTI and they looked horrid.

I dunno if the mk4 ones allow internal adjustment... but if u want a "cleaner" look, then u need the mk4 headlights...

If u want a bad-ass dark evil look, then upgrade ya fogs and indicators and get those Hella lights... will cost u around ?320 for the job to be done.

mk4 lights will set u back around ?140 and u wont need new fogs etc to make em look good...

your call...

PS: The mk4 look headlights on Euro Carparts ARE NOT manufacturered by Hella... they are made by "In-Pro".

I dont know anywhere that sell Hella mk4 style lights... but they'll cost alot more than those on Euro Carparts because their made by Hella.

btw this is my car, with the hella lights... as u can see they suit the darker coloured fogs and the darker paintwork. (Black)

Looks v mean, but just not my scene: I'm after the subtle semi-stock look...

The car has colourless fogs and indicators, I might go for smoked eventually, but happy just to change the headlights for now...






This is the cleaner Hella look I'm after:



Hella site won't show me their UK suppliers right now.... searching elsewhere.... even if I do find them, I'm still not sure Hella do the RHD version of the Mk4 lights??

Do any other manufacturers do similar Mk4 look lights where you can still use the internal beam control?

BlackGTI / n e body else.... have you ever seen the InPro lights in action?

Is the beam okay? Does the electric headlight adjustment still work with the InPro model?

I've heard people say the vision to either side of the car on the "in-pro" lights are poor ... its only got a good straight ahead beam.

So basically, poor on skinny backroads and when turning corners... but thats why their so cheap.

Oh and my HELLA are LHD/RHD ... u can adjust em .. so the mk4 ones might also be, this is why their so expensive i think.

If those Mk4 Hellas are indeed switchable to RHD, they definitely sound like they're the ones to go for... just have to try and find out where the hell I can get some!!
