Angel eye headlight kits

**Pullstarter** · 01-08-2007, 10:14 PM

Hi guys,
New to the forum and about to pick up a 96 VR6 this weekend

woot!!!

Just wondering if anyone here has tried this kind of headlight kit? Are they legal, easy to fit etc?

The first thing I noticed:

"Fits: 93-98 VW Golf only, does not fit GTI or VR6"

For the more Golf savvy... is there any difference in the headlights of a 2.0L Golf and the VR6?

Also just found this one, although I'm sure there are many more... seems like something interesting to try...

CAREFUL. These are American lights, for Americans who drive on the wrong side of the road.

What does this mean? The light pattern is different. You *WILL* daze on coming drivers because your lights will be shining at THEM instead of the road.

Also, angel eye is for BMW. Angel eye on anything besides BMW looks... odd.

Hi Pullstarter. Welcome to the forums

The only headlights worth going for are the ones manufactured by Hella or in.pro, which are a subsidiary of Hella I believe. These would offer the best fitment if not the best quality!

Also, do you mind posting up where you're from and which VR6 you recently purchased? I've been looking for a VR6 as well, and had my eye on a 96 too!

Hi Simon,
welcome!!! those lights you have found are actually from Hong Kong and made in china.Quality can be varying ,take care!
I usually buy from German Ebay and this seller usually has much better quality than those chinese made lights.

i think in the us the non vr6/gti have single chamber lights and gti/vr6 have dual chambers. Then the only difference "should" be the wiring but potentially could be something to do with the radiator frame where is mounts to.

I have had single chanber headlights they are from Mexico. There is no real difference besides the way that the screw plastic cap goes on thats all.

So all the inpro lights are good quality yes? Hmm worth looking into, as long as they're a straight plug n play item I'd be keen. Rayray;The 96 I'm hopefully picking up on the weekend (depending on my slow ass bank

) was advertised on carsales.com and is a local ACT car. I'll post up some pics when I take delivery

I was going to look at a real glamour that's in a dealers in Bankstown, 97 model with only 80kms but he wanted 12k+ and I didn't really want to go through all the changing state rego etc. The one I'm getting seems pretty well looked after with full service history etc. Thanks for the help guys much appreciated
