Headlight Glass fell out!!

So I was bobbing down the street and heard a POP! As I'd driven over something glass.

I didn't stop to check what it was, but I was sure I hadn't run over a bottle - i'm usually a pretty observant guy - I just figured some scally had thrown it

I checked my tyres once I'd driven the half mile or so to the car park, and they were fine, Lucky I thought....

When i went back to the bus after lunch with friends, my drivers side headlight glass was missing...and I guess I'd run the bloody thing over...Aaaaaarrrgh!

No wonder I couldn't understand how they kept on misting up on wet days, the seals must have been all perished
And the bloody thing just plopped out when i was Bobbing down the street - I'm glad it wasn't on the motorway.

I've seen some replacements for £40 each on Just Kampers - or old ones on the bay for £20 the pair.

But I quite like the look of them with the clear lens thing going on - does anyone do MK2 golf style headlights with a clear or cross style lens? or am I stuck with the standard Hella jobbies?

So MK2's are the same diameter?
Bonus - I've got a spare for now thank you, but I'm definitely on the prowl for some cool looking MK2 items

i fitted the smoke crystal ones designed for a mark 1 golf

requires some serious cutting and screwing but luckily no welding

better bulbs aswell.

Do your old ones have the more modern H4 bulb fitting in them?
If so I'll have them
I seem to have one of each - old style and 1 new on mine
