S3 Rear Lights

Post by S3MUD » Wed Jan 28, 2004 4:39 pm

Any of you cheeky chimps know how much it cost's to change the rear lights to the new style with the clear reverse lens?

Think about 2002 onwards?
Got to be the youngest here?

I think I paid about £100 from VAGPARTS.

Do you just need to change the lens or does the bulbholder need changing too? What about front lights? do the later ones (ie with no join between headlight and indicator) fit straight in?

IIRC it's just the lens for the back. It only took 10 minutes so couldn't have been that hard.

The fronts can be done apparently, but the wiring needs cutting and matching up and the piece of metal between the light and indicator needs cutting out.
