Hella dual round replacement lens?! help me

[Juzzpc]

so i recently purchased some "Mk3 golf hella crosshairs not morrett" on ebay.uk, as advertised they have a crack on one of the inner lenses, can anyone help me?

first of all, can someone clearly identify what type of lights these are? it seems there are many types of dual rounds or quad lights, from a few threads i've read they look to be "hella smoked dual rounds" but i'm only a rookie so idk.

and secondly, i'd like to find a replacement lens, i feel like this is going to be a b i t c h to find but maybe someone could help me out, ... some other alternatives? cheapie lens?btw they haven't arrived yet, nor even been shipped but i'd like to find a solution before they do arrive. any help appreciated, thanks

if you can't see the crack you are blind.

just did, thanks
usually stayed away from vortex idk why, but that would most likely be my best bet in finding a replacement

you might be in luck with e30 lights... I have heard they're interchangeable / able to be retrofitted in. Best to look into that yourself though first.

Nice pair, im also looking for a set.

how much did you get those for including shipping?

[decksla]

pretty sure theyre hellas.

at least, those covers are. its what it says between the lenses yeah? i can kinda make it out.

ive got the same though i never had those cool target lenses.

be careful when you try to align those things, the plastics almost always break

am i going to need to align them? they're from the uk i'm guessing they're already spec'd to rhd, hopefully they haven't been fiddled with out of the car

yeah, you most likely will, even with the RHD sets you'll have the lenses pointing at all sorts of angles.

so yeah, given your ride height and other factors, youll need to make sure they point straight and not too high.

and another thing, if you're gonna drive your car at night a lot, look at retro fitting some HID lamps.

I love the hellas to death (best look of the lot), but the light they shoot out is woeful compared to factory (at least, from my experience).

[anthony--t]

I had an identical set of hella duals and I thought they were an amazing improvement on factory.

Retro fitting HID into them is illegal - just so you know.

[decksla]

really?

i had the dual chambers from the factory and putting in the hellas i thought i was driving around with the parkers on.

yeah they're illegal. but so are most of the other things we do to these cars.

Ran HIDs for almost a year, went through heaps of RBTs and even got rego with them in. Seriously, unless you're driving something that actually attracts attention or you're driving like an idiot HIDS are fine. Plus, they add SO much light onto the road, so really if you knew your stuff you could probably take it to court and win.

[Juzzpc]

we are talking lenses here i don't care about HIDs sorry

[decksla]

you run the HIDs behind the lenses dude.

if you find that the light your lenses throw is too weak, you put in a brighter bulb. if that still isnt bright enough, you upgrade to HIDs

might not seem relevant just now, but when you fit the lights and find that it MIGHT not meet your expectations, youll come back to this thread
