Fitting Square headlights

Post by nesty »

Hi

I got a set of square headlights to install. Is there any instructions somewhere how to do it? Ie wire to the loom etc

I looked in the WIKI, but could only find fitting uprated headlight bulbs.

you have to cut off the inner lamp mounts and fit some new ones out further to suit the pos of the square lamps.

the lamp mount can still be bought from vw

My lights have mounting plates at the back attached. Is it a case of bolting them on?
