twin bulb headlight questio

[griff82]

one of my ibiza cupra healights have been broken everything eles is in tact except for the glass

im having a bit of trouble trying to finding one

my question is would i just be able to fit just the glass off a normal single bulb ibiza headlight i think they look the same

thanx let me know

I've seen a few cupras with single bulb headlights on them, so yes, you can put em on.

no mate what i mean is can i fit the glass off a single bulb headlight onto a twin bulb headlight,so i will still have two twin bulb headlights buy just replacing the the glass

i'm actully confusing myself now

Yes its possible if you can seperate the lenses from the units without smashing them

No, you can't fit the lens from a H4 single lamp unit onto the back of a H1 twin lamp unit. It might physically fit, but the lenses are different. The beam pattern will be all over the shop if you do. Your choices are replace the lens with the correct lens, replace the whole unit with the right unit or replace both units with the H4 single lamp units.

As for the comment above about seeing Cupra's with H4 headlights, it's not a standard fitment (in as much as there is such a thing with mk2 Ibiza's...). Pre-facelift 2.0 8v and 1.8 16v GTI's used the H4 single lamp units, but post facelift 2.0 8v's had the H1 twin lamp units.
