Well I finally got around to fitting the headlights, and although it was a bit of a pain having to dismantle the front end of the car, it was fairly straightforward with the aid of the relevant pages from the VW tech manual (thanks Mischa).
I'm reasonably happy with the look of the headlights, but to be honest, I expected them to look better, as the one's I had on my XR5 looked sensational. I think they would look better with only two lamps (instead of 3) and an indicator strip along the bottom (like factory lights). They look great at night though!
It's the same story with the tails. They look brilliant from some angles, and not so great from others, but again, they look fantastic when illuminated at night. I'll post some night shots later this evening.
Anyway, they wont be everyone's cup of tea, but I like my cars to look a bit different from the factory version, and I think the black goes well with the grey. I just need some Black 18's with a polished lip to finish it off.
