Headlight Question

Post by SeasideVanagon »

Granted, I may not have posted this in the right section so apologies.

Are Scirocco Mk 2 headlights the same as T25 square headlights - just they look very similar.

Excuse my ignorance.

Ah okay - cheers - which explains the obvious - that's why people pay 200 quid plus for for RHD Square Headlights and not 30 quid for a set of Scirocco Mk 2 lights.

Cheers though - I know these are silly questions, just like to understand in my head.

:ok

Brickwerks sell beam benders for about £3......... Much cheaper
Although my van has been in the UK about 5 years and has passed every year with LHD headlights, got picked up at last test, but I promised to fix...must get round to buying those beam benders :oops:

lol - yeah - you must buy them :wink:

I have beam benders but I will eventually switch them to RHD - it's not an immediate job but i think it's one I should do, although the cost of RHD square lights is a bit, well, vertical.
