Those round headlight covers that make it look like you have twins....

[ScienceVR6]

Ahh, you know the ones, mk3pete had them.
Well, now i have them, but they sorta look funny on my car, in gloss metalic black. I want to paint them. Either white, or matt or satin black.

If i do white, i will continue to use the clear(ish) front turns and reflectors.
If i do black i have a heavily tinted set of turns and some satin black reflectors to use.

So, what do i do?

PS, here is a shott, featuring my black reflectors, and some black headlight covers. I don't use them for driving.

I am with Mat, I dont like them.

mk4 (style) lights on are the best on mk3's IMO

Those full covers look tuff, but the "fake" dual covers look silly and cheap imo . . .

[DVR68U]

yeah full covers are okay but the dual covers do look very cheap lol up close anyway
cheers brenton

[MattyT]

Get real dual rounds. Covers are poser.

(you might be able to see something at night too!)

Yes to you good sir :D

[ScienceVR6]

yeah, but these where basically free. I'll still thinking about matt black, and then tinting the headlights, so it gives me the effect of the full black lights, with the ability to see.

Hi
Never been much of a fan of the stick on quad covers (they look a bit cheap) and you are throwing good $ at the rubbish factory lights, when you could be spending your $ on what you want anyway...:)

ABT quads - see how the lights fill the space and push out to the corners (there are others that have this look too)

Morette Quads (mine) not cheap! the Hellas will have the pretty much the same grunt as these lights do and will be cheaper to buy than these!
And will still be better than the factory poos even with uprated bulbs. Save your money for when some Hellas come up for sale, I reckon

I've got Hella quads 2nd hand off K1LLZ, awesome low beams! Not mega thrilled with the highs - very thin pencil beam, bit crap on the sides - but they're still worlds better then stock.

what hard earned? they where free.

[bsting]

Yeah I saw that you said that, I just thought for a second that rather than spending $ on even painting them you could just put that towards some quads.
If thats what you are really after - as per the pic of the blue VR

They look poop imo.

Just about every mk3 should have these (BTW this is the best mk3 i have ever seen in my life ever):

Science, did you end up tinting the headlight lens? If so, what's the light output like?

[bsting]

What do you think of these? I think they are 'FKs' (or copies) too but without the 'halo' effect
