    Hella dual round replacement lens?! help me

    so i recently purchased some "Mk3 golf hella crosshairs not morrett" on ebay.uk, as advertised they have a crack on one of the inner lenses, can anyone help me?

    first of all, can someone clearly identify what type of lights these are? it seems there are many types of dual rounds or quad lights, from a few threads i've read they look to be "hella smoked dual rounds" but i'm only a rookie so idk.

    and secondly, i'd like to find a replacement lens, i feel like this is going to be a b i t c h to find but maybe someone could help me out, ... some other alternatives? cheapie lens?btw they haven't arrived yet, nor even been shipped but i'd like to find a solution before they do arrive. any help appreciated, thanks

    pics from the ebay ad


    if you can't see the crack you are blind.

    just did, thanks
    usually stayed away from vortex idk why, but that would most likely be my best bet in finding a replacement

    you might be in luck with e30 lights... I have heard they're interchangeable / able to be retrofitted in. Best to look into that yourself though first.

    pretty sure theyre hellas.

    at least, those covers are. its what it says between the lenses yeah? i can kinda make it out.

    ive got the same though i never had those cool target lenses.

    be careful when you try to align those things, the plastics almost always break

    am i going to need to align them? they're from the uk i'm guessing they're already spec'd to rhd, hopefully they haven't been fiddled with out of the car

    yeah, you most likely will, even with the RHD sets you'll have the lenses pointing at all sorts of angles.

    so yeah, given your ride height and other factors, youll need to make sure they point straight and not too high.

    and another thing, if you're gonna drive your car at night a lot, look at retro fitting some HID lamps.

    I love the hellas to death (best look of the lot), but the light they shoot out is woeful compared to factory (at least, from my experience).
