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
