Good R/H/D sets fetch around £250, L/H/D's £170 so £100 isn't that bad for 3 out of 4 to be good and useable.

VW just don't make the outters anymore so you just have to bite the bullit.

Does anyone do headlight protectors for square light grilles?
If not why not I wonder...at these prices you could make a killing.
I'd buy a set for starters.

a cracked lense is NOT a reason for an mot failure in itself.

As Billy says....if the lens is secure and the crack isn't effecting the beam and pattern then it should be just an advisory.

Someone once told me these would fit.
Anyone confirm or deny?
