Headlights Question
« on: October 28, 2014, 09:42:58 pm »
Bit of a dumb question, but are these gti headlights? Also are they a straight swap with the standard mk5 rabbit ones? Thanks

The first pic looks like xenon's. Will need an adapter from kufatec to plug them into your existing wiring.

The second picture are halogen headlights with dark surrounds, normally found on gti / GT sport models.

Both will fit your car.

They are a straight swap but if they are  xenon they will need the adaptor as mentioned

just brought new black standard headlights for £120. the make is depo.  apart from having no little vw sign in the headlight and its got a wire clip to the dipped beam housing instead of the easy plastic twist and pull out type.
