Jesus, I'd just like to find some Euro Corrado headlights for less than $700.   :evil: The US spec ones are just plain stupid.  Not VW's fault though- they had to comply with US regulations.   :roll:

How did you do it

Jetta or rallye slam panel and rallye grille?

Post by: juleshs on May 24, 2009, 03:18:28 pm
sheer butchery, the slam panel is mainly golf with bits of corrado slam panel riveted in, only bit of corrado panel i used were the bits that hold the bottom of the headlighes in place

I agree that it looks really tight but I also still like the look of a set of single rounds on a MKII.

Personally, I think the Hella H4 7½" rounds with a set of 100W/130W Narva bulbs from http://www.danielsternlighting.com/products/products.html (http://).  I had a set of these on my '73 bug and when I would turn on the high beams it was like daylight in front of me.  I love the sharp cutoff of the H4's lowbeam since you get great illumination of the right shoulder but you're not blinding oncoming drivers.
