Headlight Differences?

[j.a.kelly]

are there differences between the TDI sport headlight (2003) and the Cupra headlights?!

Im looking at getting a set of new headlights because i have one thats very scratched for some reason - and one that looks newish. but too look @ the front of the car they look VERY different (coz of discolouration/scratches) and i jus wanna make it look better!!

been quoted £100 per lamp by Dave @ IMG.
Cheers guys

If you're going to change them, why not see how much a pair of OE Xenon units is (like mine had) - IIRC one of the chaps on here from Mexico did the upgrade, not sure how it works with regards to the autolevelling etc though.

Also, you can buy headlamp protectors from the dealer, I fitted a pair on mine because I didn't want to run the risk of a stone smashing a headlight.
It would stop your new one(s) from getting scratched.

was gonna look @ the xenon units but like u say they still wont be legal due to the self leveling thing. pretty gutting tho love xenons! As ive said in the 79k post i would have snapped ur hand off for ur car had it come sooner :-(

thanks
