GAG!

They give that poor NB a reverse cross-eyed look. Honestly though, they're JUNK. You can tell just by the photos, the gaskets look homemade!

I don't even have to click the link- I know what they are. This thread is becoming as frequent as the "Jet Beetle" thread

Once again noobs.....Fill out your profile.

Walt has them in our club...he also is on here somewhere.
There is already a thread on here as well that discusses these..or two.

http://www.dfwnbclub.org/forum/phpBB...r=asc&start=15

There is alot of extra wiring involved to get all the lights to work, they aren't just plug and play.

Hey Antione, thanks for the link. I really haven't seen them on an actual bug before- They don't look all that bad. Don't care for the bar across the top, but other than that, not bad- not my cup of tea, but not bad.

Did I say, they're not that bad??

Yeah the bar on the top is OVER THE TOP. And not in a good way...

So You're the dude who owns that bug...NICE. I like your bug. And compliments you should get. Just because it's not my cup of tes, dosen't mean they're not nice, but i think you know i'm coming from a good place when I say that. Do you have a pic thread here? I'm thinking you've got some sweet stuff inside your bug.

And how was the fitment on the lights? you know how it is with getting those bad boys in.

I didn't say they were BAD....
Just that little bar that looks like an eyebrow pushes it out of desirability for me. I LOVE the round side-by-sides though!

no offense taken from anyones comments :P you all have your own cars to paint your pictures with. This is just mine. Currently, my bars are extra turn signals, and the wiring wasn't hard.



Just a crappy gif i put together that shows the different lighting schemes..

But just think, then you'll have yet another thing to tend to...
Between the .org, the tex, cardomain, and now postings on youtube, I've got PLENTY to do!

Hah, ya im that guy.. They are actually more shallow than OEM so when I go hid, I will have plenty of room. Other than that, the fit is snug. The only thing I really dont like about them is the gasket.. it is plastic, and does not come together. I absolutely love dawn and dusk, cuz I can run with the fogs and angel eyes and get a TON of looks.. Interior is meh, custom seats and some lighting full LED swap.. black e brake handle full manual tt pedal set. Got a mod day coming up in a couple of weeks. I will update my pic thread then and stop hijacking this poor souls thread.

for these head lights though, came with bulbs even :O!!!

Can’t you just remove the gasket from the original headlights and use that instead? They have started producing them in RHD version and I want a set.
