I wish my grocery store was just a ¼-mile away. ;)

I looked at the New Beetle headlights more closely at the VW supermarket, and they seem to slant center-to-fender too much to make work in a real Beetle. I personally want something round or at least oval, though.

Makes the thing look cross eyed to me!!!!!

Here we go again !!!

I'm not to sure if you guys in the US/Canada import Daewoo cars but if you do have you thought about Matiz.

I've attached two pictures, an early and a late model.

They slant back waayyy too much. So do the new Coopers. Easy enough to overcome the slant... except you're moving them back against the tire and if you're gonna run anything bigger than a 135 on a 15" rim, it won't work.

They do slant a LITTLE too far back...but maybe with a little adjustments here and there, they might work...but...I...just...don't...know?! :p

Headlights!

Hi everyone,

I posted previous replies about Mercedez CLK headlights, they're neat but cost a lot and need modifications (cutting the headlight assembly in half). I'd like to say that I'm still looking for ways to get that Hi-tech look and recently I found a headlight that could possibly do the job. One of my friends came to my house to show me his new "pride and joy", a brand new 2004 Jeep Liberty, the first thing I noticed were the sleek looking perfectly round but a bit slanted headlights that gave that car a classic Jeep Look. The first thing I said was: They would look great on a Beetle!! I also don't think it was ever done on a beetle before. I checked for the rice and you can get them for 127$ each at www.speedyautoparts.com. I know these lights look small on the Liberty but It's a SUV and they looked big enough for me to mounted on a beetle fender and still respect the proportions of the original.

Hope this will get someone's attention!!

Hi

I bought a set of Audi A3 Xenon headlights from Ebay UK. They are a Hella upgrade and include a CPU for self leveling of the low beam. Im going to mount them in some early 911/early bug headlights with clear lenses. The lights are like the 90mm module shown on this page.

When I saw this I just thought WOW that look fantastic, then I thought I wish I'd bought that pair of TT h/lights at Vanfest a couple of weeks ago :bawling:
