    A little bit of research online (www.powerbulbs.co.uk - punch in one model, check what it uses, punch in the other, compare and contrast) tells me that the Bora requires H4 headlamp bulbs, as does the Mk2 Golf. So you have a winner there.

    Unless they're brand new themselves, and have a single-digit number of hours on them, why you'd bother with second-hand globes when you can get new Philips X-Treme Power bulbs landed in Australia from a reputable seller for less than $65, I do not know.
    Nothing to see here...

    They qualify under the reasoning I gave then!

    Do you know exactly what they are (manufacturer and model name)?

    I'd trust a reputable brand (Philips, Osram, etc) over a lesser (or no-name) brand - they're likely to last longer and actually produce the light output you're after.
