Nice Lachie! Let us know of the quality after a few weeks of using them.
Also, be really careful when you pry them open. Non-OEM lenses are known to be much more fragile.

they look great..nice choice. I would have to say changing headlights is one of the best things u can do to a mk3. Oh and the VR lip, which is next right??
Good choice bboyskidz. Tell me how you go if u decide to blacken em. I was thinking of doing em aswell. it looks good on black cars

Yeah Lachie they look great! Love to see them if you black 'em out!
Where'd you get em? I'm looking for lights, 180 is very cheap, almost skeptical cheap, but still!

You're luckier than me bboy, I ordered those lights from that seller and when they arrived one was broken, not to mention the crappy quality. Maybe they are from a different manufacturer?Anyways, glad you like em and they worked out ok for you. I have some FK's on the way so hoping they will be better than my last headlight attempt

They look awsome mate. Was looking at some of them the other day, but after reading pullstarter had a bad experience with them, it kinda put me off. Gone OEM dual chambers for now!

oh really? that sucks dude! well the brand on these lights is "HBLLA"....... yeh thats right.... H-B-LLA.... lol. I hope you got your money back and/or gave them neg feedback.
I'm not sure if they are RHD or LHD but they seem to work well, no flare up on either side... me thinks they are both the drivers side lights from each type (i.e. front right from a RHD car and front left from a LHD car) because I had to modify the left side with a saw to get it in straight.
Let me explain:
you can see in just underneath the bolt hole on the far right there is a pin that keeps the light in place. On the original set i have, the passenger side light has the pin above the hole, the drivers side has it below. On the set i got, both sides have the pin below the hole. All I did was cut the pin right off on the passenger side and voila!
For $180 I'm really not complaining. They look sweet and they are decent quality. I'm going to take em out again soonish and just re-silicone all of the edges anyway.
Pullstarter, what part was broken on the set you got? if it was the brackets that hold the lens in place then I am going to reinforce them with something - probably alradite - while they are out...
