MK 5 Lights on MK 4

Golfather · Post by **Golfather** » Wed Jul 21, 2004 2:40 am

The dilemma...

Will the bulb holder from the Mk4 (6N) fit the rear lights of the Mk5?

Does it require any modifications to fit?

Is there anything i should be aware of before buying Mk5 lights without the bulb holders?

Thanks in advance...

Yeah you need mk5 holders

Not bad i suppose, then Â£2 for all the bulbs!!

Are those FK Black Chrome Lights?
If so, any problems with the beam projection in the dark (if LHD)?
.....and if RHD versions, where from?
