smiff 0 Posted May 7, 2004 After many miles my headlights now need replacing. Does anyone know if a Passat's headlights are the same as a Corrado's? The price difference is nearly half! If not, who has the most competitive prices? Would it be GPC in Luton? I might also buy new fogs and indicator lens', as these are also cracked and looking old.

munkay 0 Posted May 7, 2004 What is it with the corrado and the feckin lights??? I have been through one indicator and one headlight glass and now current state is cracked headlight glass and small cracks in both indicators! Its a never ending battle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted May 7, 2004 Bloody lorries is the answer to that. Especially the ones that drift onto the inside and outside hard shoulders throwing up bolts, bits of metal, stones, wood and all manner of crud onto our cars! At least they’re only £20 tho….VW could have been really nasty and make us buy complete lamps! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted May 7, 2004 i need a new indicator lens aswell,but will need to peplace them both as one will be clear and the other frosted :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiff 0 Posted May 7, 2004 Ah! Thanks everyone.......I didn't realise you could buy just the glass! (Hadn't even considered it was available!) Thought It was gonna cost me loads! So how much is just the lens? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dazzyvr6 0 Posted May 7, 2004 around £20-£30 ,but some stealers refuse to admit that you can buy the lens seperate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiff 0 Posted May 7, 2004 Eurocarparts Hella lens £26.44 There was a bit of confusion (Always is in ECP!) Bloke seemed to think that Corrados manufactured before 1991 have to buy a complete headlight and those after 1991 could buy replacement glass? My car is on a H-plate 1991. Mmmm! Got one anyway, I'll try and fit it tomorrow morning. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
