Non OEM Headlights
« on: June 16, 2013, 03:41:15 pm »
Hi have some severe scratches on my 05 GTI and need them replacing as a result. The VW garage want around £500 for the set (+ VAT) which seems expensive. Are there any other options?

I've seen a few things on eBay for around £150 a set but unsure if these are good enough/safe etc.

Thanks
