Change round to rectangle lights

Post by feathers »

Hi - we have just bought a T25, its our first VW and we are very much looking forward to making it our own. She currently has round headlights, we would like to have the rectangle head lights, is this just a straight swap? Thanks in advance for any replies :)

Don't bother. Even those that do have them live in fear and dread of chipping/smashing them. Round ones are ok. Love mine. :D

Plus with the round ones you get that docile expression at the front rather than an angry one :rofl

And not as good as the far cheaper and perfectly acceptible standard round lights :ok
