gambba Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 How olds your car? If it's pre facelift with the glass headlamps then you can purchase the lens seperately reasonably priced from the dealer. If it's the facelift version then you'll need the complete plastic moulded headlamp unit, which should be relatively cheap (I am a liar, they are not cheap! See below) and would suggest a call to vag parts, or the local scrapyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 if its a post-facelift then you best call your bank manager, they are c£450 from a stealer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you save the pic you can zoom in and find the part number you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
