mk 3 headlight upgrade options

[h100vw]

Gav, would this relay 'kit' be pretty much exactly the same as what I did on my mk 1 gld, ie same principles. ( I think I followed a link velly posted from clubgti maybe)

Essentially it's the same Jarred, yes.

I've got genuine Hella dual rounds and they are pretty darn good. A huge improvement over dual chamber stockies at least.



The high beams on em are crap though.

Damn i love that colour scheme . I got the dual rounds too, have to say the low beam is ****house, although i think they need adjusting, and also, corners is realllllyyy bad, adjusting put an end to this too?

I have these too but I don't agree, the light output is different, but not better (for me at least). Fine in all circumstances for the city, but out in the country its dismal.

I have just put aftermarket duel chambers in and they seem a lot better. If anyone wants to buy a set of hella duels (drivers side high beam has a crack and drivers side low beam mounting needs fixing) PM me.

the best headlights i've ever had in any car are hte ones on my missus 91 cabriolet, they are ACE.

How much r they in good nic I had a perfect pair n sold em off my old car I wnt sum again for this 1

They are mint - as new! Still debating whether I sell them or just sit on them for a while. Just putting them out there at the moment out of interest, the price would have to be right

Have gone Vento front end now

Just installed a new set of headlights on my car , they are dual halo with projectors for low beam , the light output is better but it can be much better , i need to relay the headlights , anyone knows how ??

I upgraded to Hella Celis on Monday... What a difference! Can see much much further with these. (;

[Golf-Sam]

the output on mine is better than it was before .. but they came with some cheap bulbs .. so i ordered a new set of Philips extreme vision .. and im considering installing a relay kit for the low beam ..

and these look sick ! are you going to use HIDs ?

I'm tempted to but it seems like a bit of a hassle to wire it all up... the H7 bulbs are actually very bright as is so I'm probably not going to make the jump for a while. I must say I'm not too big on halos, but these aren't too bad.

Morette quads - great driving lights, a big step up from the oem ones. I had an aftermarket HID kit (wow) for these, but had to remove the kit as they are illegal in nz now.

ABT and Valeo make quads in a similar style too

[Pmk]

I had a set of Hella dual rip offs which I never had issues with:



I then upgraded to these:


and WOW was there more light.

now I drive at night and wonder if they are on sometimes. Rayray's right, alightmient would help, but mine don't seem to want to move any further in the direction I want so it seems I'm out of luck

So I would also be interested in anything that gives some good light (and looks hot too)

What are these called ? They look nice !

[Jarred]

I think they're just mk 4 look-a-likes (the second ones that is)

Good news, I'll be getting some tidy Dual Chambers soon. After exams etc are done, I'll start looking into tidying them up, clean up earthing points etc, new bulbs, relay/wiring upgrade etc. Hopefully there should be some marketed improvement!

If not, maybe i'll look into HID or projectors.
