binliner 0 Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 I figure that if you can swap mk3 golf & vento standard lights you can swap aftermarket ones as well? Link to post Share on other sites
Phil 0 Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I might be wrong or on about something totally different, but I think that the connectors are different? Maybe pre OBD2?? Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe pre OBD2??[/quote']yep, there are two different connectors, but i can't remember how to distinguish them. one's really uncommon anyway, and its not the biggest job in the world to put a new connector on.
