mk 3 headlight upgrade options

[vwthunder]

In My VR6 I had hella twin conversion, with a Ebay HID kit, the light was amazing, best lighting I have had in a car, better than most new cars too, never even used high beam, as there was no difference

Gav, would this relay 'kit' be pretty much exactly the same as what I did on my mk 1 gld, ie same principles. ( I think I followed a link velly posted from clubgti maybe)

Does anyone know of headlights (brand new ones) that have, or are suitable for HID retrofit, or etc??

thanks

Most Mk3 Headlights rattle if you shake em because all the clips holding the internal reflector in place are broken and so the lightbeam scatters all across the road and light output is crap.

Brand new OEM ones are expensive, or try your luck with aftermarket ones.

Get yourself better globes. Parker/low beam and highbeam.

Im running Philips X-treme power .. i think that this is as good as it gets ..
I had a look in Ebay .. found this : http://cgi.ebay.com.au/HID-VW-GOLF-3...item35ac47d3e1

any thoughts ?

I've got genuine Hella dual rounds and they are pretty darn good. A huge improvement over dual chamber stockies at least.



The high beams on em are crap though.

Essentially it's the same Jarred, yes.

Damn i love that colour scheme . I got the dual rounds too, have to say the low beam is ****house, although i think they need adjusting, and also, corners is realllllyyy bad, adjusting put an end to this too?

I have these too but I don't agree, the light output is different, but not better (for me at least). Fine in all circumstances for the city, but out in the country its dismal.

I have just put aftermarket duel chambers in and they seem a lot better. If anyone wants to buy a set of hella duels (drivers side high beam has a crack and drivers side low beam mounting needs fixing) PM me.

the best headlights i've ever had in any car are hte ones on my missus 91 cabriolet, they are ACE.
