Re: [Mk1] lighting revisited

["Chris DeLong" <green536@hotmail.com>]

<x-flowed>I have Passat euro outer lights that are similar to the bimmer lights you 
are talking of. I think the only difference between the 2 is that the Passat 
lights have a baffle inside of them to make them appear to be black when 
off. You have to do alot of grinding to the headlight carrier to make them 
fit but they will, with a little ingenuity and imagination :) As far as the 
H3's from the quad grille; I'm sure they would fit, although the beam 
pattern is going to have to be lined up manually cause the dimples that line 
up the standard lights are not on the H3's. I do however highly recommend 
the cessna lights. They are pretty cheap (cheaper than H1's) HTH
