"Mk3 stock headlights"

[gtimk5]

I have always relayed the headlights on my golfs (apart from the mk4 and 5)
That way you can go larger wattage globes without burning out the switch. By relaying them you are assued of gatting battery voltage. The difference is astounding! If your GL has the twin reflector setup the you could go to 120watts on the highs and whatever on the lows. Single reflector, I would go 90/130s Make sure they are relayed first though. Cheers, Andrew

Syncro (Phill Lander) wrote an excellent description of how to do this to a Mk2. Maybe we could talk him into doing the same for a Mk3

If you want great lights, grab a pair of Hella Celis mk4 look lights with HID kit.
www.tmtuning.com sells them, although pricey, they will probably provide the best lighting possible!

And remember, Hella can be trusted, because that's who make OEM stuff...

hey thanks for the info, think ive got a few ideas cooked up now, might try relaying them and changing the globes providing there not too expensive

Dear Group
only new to the forum and purchasing a mk3 cl 3 door and when I took it for a check at Werners in Cairns they informed me it would need new HL's due to the fact that the reflectors were broken away inside , also some of the tabs connecting the lights to the car were broken, maybe this could be a similar problem Cheers Holger

Common problem with our headlights. The tabs are made out of plastic and are quite thin too so are prone to breaking. I've pulled apart a few headlights and only one came out to be still intact.
