Greeney,

This one will post to "Germany only" but I once read that you can get somebody in Germany to post this for you.

Otherwise, you can try any Hella distributor in this country and ask them for the Golf I headlights (LHD version).

Pity, because I had the older pair of my LHD GWagen but they when with the buyer when I sold the car :oops:

I have done a few searches and found some really nice VW golf mk2 headlights that have crystal clear glass or a cross hair across instead of those lines might look neat. forgot the url though Ill update later I also managed to buy some HID look white with blue tint bulbs like most new Mercs have. they give off a 60% brighter white light. Obviously not the real HID thing but...Ill tell you how they do..

Ordered my LHD lights from http://www.gwentvw.co.uk they were £59.99 for the pair and have crystal clear glass, no lines etc on the glass they should look very nice too.
Coming from Germany so will be 10-14 days

thats because you need to buy Mk 1 golf headlights, and I can assure you they do fit.

Thanks Peter

I thought from the threads that either one would fit.

I'll take them back to the shop - pity it's a 60 mile round trip to Aberdeen

Headlights for 460

I took the advice on the forum and tried to buy Golf Mk1 headlights from VW dealer and he wanted £63 + vat each !!!. Checked local Hella dealer and he came up trumps with Hella part no 1L8 003 060-691 at £26.50 each plus VAT(sutiable for MAN,M-B and VW so half price. Very impressed.
