Head Lights Adjustment

I believe that info is in your Owner's Manual. But basically the lights should drop slightly below parallel.

I messed up the format, try this jpeg

LHD or RHD... look like I have a set of LHD crystal headlights extra after a German Ebay lot said they would work on RHD and then I failed my MOT due to this :cry: .. black tape will sort it but still :roll:

Basically apart from new 463 super ones..

LHD use
“goingfast” on ebay do LHD only with E marking and glass lenses from www.jom.de = 171941753BCL = Golf Mk1 Chrom. 3 out 4 clips were broken which did not stop them working (spring holds them) but you also had to grind out the thin zinc plated bowl to allow the long and bulky G sidelight bulb arrangement to fit.

RHD use (TBC!!)
http://www.independent-inventory.com/shop/advanced_search_result.php?&se...
These are the www.jom.de versions with glass lenses, steel reflectors, E marked and thin zinc plated replacement bowls. . Tel 0871222 1749
=£56.75/pair inc VAT/carriage. with std sidelight. = Crystal 2335 [LIHLCR123237] Look like they are real RHD dipping

Both same make with replacement thin steel bowl .. I have a bunch more on "Mini" style fittings...

Headlights
Any Golf Mk1 headlights etc from Hella dealer or Mk3 fits and looks different (Mk2 does not fit).
OEM is Hella which are good, glass
Cibie H180 is not bad.. suspect Hella better
Wipac not good and maybe plastic lenses; they are the basis for many angel eye conversions.

There are three types of 7” mounting;
G = VW Golf/german which stands up on little square lugs and thenthere is a bowl within a bowl to adjust the beam plus a clamp ring to hold the reflector into the inner bowl.
The UK/Japan version is thinner (so you need a thinner clamp ring or something to trap to make yours thicker) and similar to German type. Fit to original Mini and Mazda MX-5
Some (e.g. www.jom.de) have replacement bowls as they have one block and 2 screw adjusters + spring to hold/adjust beam and no second bowl & clamp ring These have the block at 10 O’clock and then 2 C shaped extensions at 2&7 O’clock to locate onto the screw adjuster heads plus a spring at 4 O’clock.

Angel eye headlights
Cheap ones have a tube that obscures part of the lense. Expensive ones have lots of LEDs that do not obscure the lense. Questionable if they are E marked (i.e. legal in UK). Almost all dip to middle so you lose the dipped beam extention up the side.
