Defcon5 Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Not easily. Been done though, and looks very good - somone has split and smoked a set and it looks awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VwLupo 1.0 se Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Kwl so with a bit of modding they can be fitted would the xenon washer jets have to be fitted or wud it be ok with out them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Legally you must fit the headlamp washers along with the self levelling setup.Be prepared to pay through the nose for a set of GTI headlamps, they regularly go for over well £100 per lamp.

treblet Posted October 10, 2010 Report Share Posted October 10, 2010 last set i missed out on over ebay fetched £60 quid each REPEAT SIXTY QUID EACH from a scrap yard complete in workin condition For that price I'd be very surprised if they were GTI headlamps...However stranger things have happened.

Mitchell Posted October 31, 2010 Report Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) inner wings cut back wiring chopped n split etc etc, front panels vary and some have no cut out for the deeper internals of the headlight, a headlight casing is 250 from vw, with internals and bulb close to 600 each headlight iirc, and gti front panel/slam panel 170 Edited October 31, 2010 by Mitchell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooch Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 just to update the passenger side bolted straight in no mods. also the wiring connects straight to the original but guessing it wont be right due to indicator etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 could you just use an aftermaket hid kit with gti light units instead paying for the pricey ballast units? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooch Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 cant see why not. you would need to make a blank for the headlight to fill the hole where the ballast goes tho...HoocH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 could you just use an aftermaket hid kit with gti light units instead paying for the pricey ballast units?I'm not sure if the self levelling would work correctly, that is if you're fitting the levelling sensor on the rear axle in the first place though.

DK16V Posted January 31, 2011 Report Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi!I did it on my 1.4 16V...It was one of the most complicated mods i've ever done on my car... Not to mention expensive... But damn.. the looks and the light output at night is all worth it! The thing that took the most time was installing the headlight washer jets...Hella makes a universal kit, and I used the caps from a Volvo FH truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
