  1. 08-04-2012 12:57 AM #1
    Mainly looking to trade, but will sell outright. I live in Chandler, work in Scottsdale. Chad 480-248-4546

    I have these headlights that I am hoping to trade for stock GTI lights with fogs.



    Hoping to trade this grille for a stock MkIV gti R32 golf grille, any color will do.



    18" wheels and tires. 5x100. Currently on a MkIV, so looking to trade for something stock (18" preferred) Tires are decent buy have camber wear on the inside.

    It's possible that the seal isn't quite air tight.

    For instance, if someone had taken these headlights apart and painted the insides black and re-assembled them and didn't get enough silicone, urethane, or whatever sealant they used to re-attach the lens to the housing, which caused them to get condensation on the inside.

    Or… I just thought after typing all that junk above. It's probably more likely that the insides of the headlights have always been black, but whoever owned this car before bought the expensive glass lenses to replace the plastic lenses as an upgrade to the original headlights and the rest of the scenario above still applies.

    taking the lens off and re-sealing it isn't very hard to do though. It's definitely "fix-able"
    I buy and sell cars. So if you need something let me know. I have cars, people want cars, I can sell my cars to people, that's basically how this stuff works.
