Change round to rectangle lights
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.

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

Agreed, looks less intimidating... especially with a bullbar

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

Re: Change round to rectangle lights
Thanks everyone, I actually prefer the round ones to be honest, its my husband that would like to change them, I really like the change of grill idea though. Thanks again
