    Why not look to buy ABT or hella dual round headlights for a mkIII?

    I also wanted to have that mk2 dual look on my mk3 golf, but in all the reading I've done, it looks as if the only SIMPLE solution is the ABT/Hella dual rounds. Which, yeah, they're not cheap, but considering the work we'd have to do to do an actual conversion, I'd say it's worth it.

    Did you end up going through with making a mold?
    I've been creeping around looking for info about this mk2 style front end as an option for my mk3.
    I'd love to see a build thread for that blue jetta
