I need to replace my RHD lights with LHD. New ones from OPC or FVD etc are about EUR88 each + tax which in Belgium is 21%!

Is it correct that i can use VW Golf lenses even with the auto adjustment? does anybody have a part number?

Thanks

Graham

Only the early 944s can take the Golf Mk1 lenses AFAIK.

They are not the later lamps, hence why it says 944/924 lamps ;).

I think you can adapt later lamps but Simon (944 Man) will be the man to ask.

If you have electrical adjust lamps in then you must get the same type. Lamps out of a manual adjust car wont fit the housing as I found out a few weeks ago :oops:
