jamieVR6 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 I got some from german, swedish & french car parts. They are mk4 look in a mk3 shell. I think they were £180 for the pair, I' not convinced by the quality though they keep steaming up! Link to post Share on other sites
Bennett 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 do they look good tho ?? Link to post Share on other sites
Mangold 0 Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 They look real good compared with the standard hella's. They do steam up as most people will tell you. This is easily fixed though with some Silicon sealer around the glass/plastic join and the plastic panel at the back that you remove to replace filaments. Some peeps put silica gel in there too...

vr6 0 Posted April 1, 2004 Report Share Posted April 1, 2004 do not put to much sealant in as when it gets hot it can spread and stick to the bonnet seal as mine did Link to post Share on other sites

alivr6 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 when ever you buy aftermarket lighting products always go round the joint of the glass and back plastic with clear silicone to give it the double protection, never had a problem with my crystals fronts ever since i did that.

Michelvr6 0 Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 if you just buy origionel hella's you don't have the steaming problem.if so than the origionel silicone is not good anymore.so if you want to buy some,just take hella's! Link to post Share on other sites
Ferrari VR6 0 Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I once saw a pair of mk4 headlights on a mk3 but the back 'walls' of the headlamps had been blacked out so the silver lamps stood out even more...Anybody know anything about these or maybe the guy did it himself ?!
