Think the polie would probably target and saxos and stuff first etc.

Was thinking wonder how hard it would be to 'modify' the Lupo's lights... Expensive though!

Why the Lupo's lights??

The main part look similar in size although the internals are different.

The Lupos GTI's lights have the projector HID part, bad idea I know, but might be worth a shot if a set ever come up cheap enough.

Hey guys. First time I'm posting. Allready visiting this forum for a while.

I'm living in Holland. Since January I'm driving a silver 3-door Polo 1.4 16V 55kw.

Unfortunately OEM HID where not available. I replaced the original Halogens with a Xenon kit from Catz USA. It looks nice but not OEM at all.

So now I bought 2 projectors + electronics from a BMW E46. When weather is becoming a little better I'm planning to fit these into my headlight-units.

I'll keep you informed.

So it is possible to grab some bits out of the M3 headlights and use them on our POLOs?

That sounds impressive, but looking for the projectors from M3s will be quite hard.

Do you know if you can use other types of projectors? IF so I can go to my local scrap yard and have a look around for them.

Welcome to the forum.!!!

No, it hasn't got to be a M3 projector. A normal BMW 3-series xenon projector will do the job. Because I'm a daily driver I think I'll buy 2 extra headlightunits for my Polo, so I can take my time to build it properly.

Welcome joy!

Sounds like a good idea. I'm going to try and source some bits myself if they ever come up cheap enough. Would be very cool.

I just wonder when they do bring out the Polo gti if THAT will have the 'proper' xenon's

theres a company that sells angel head lights like the bmws for the polo 9n and u get the choice of having it all black inside or mirror

Scorpio1 · Post by **Scorpio1** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 6:45 pm

jazzy have you got a number or web address?

Maybe us 9N's interested could sort something out with the company

jazzy · Post by **jazzy** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 7:54 pm

yup its r and a design, if u have the latest edition of pvw i think its the one with mole init. check the inside behind the front cover. its listed on there under a picture of a 9n in a mattig kit. www.ra-design.co.uk
01472811711
the website doesnt mention it, so would be better to ring.
let me know how u get on. i would b interested in the angle eyes with black background. i think list price is about Â£240

Again the angel head lights are only l/h/d which obviously aren't road legal for us uk drivers....well mot passable tho most of us 9n drivers that wont matter for a couple of years yet.

but hopefully they'll make a r/h/d for those of us who care.

Scorpio1 · Post by **Scorpio1** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 8:33 pm

Cheers jaz.

SiDaBa how come they're not legal in the UK.. is it because of the black backround? If people buy the mirror one should be ok?

jazzy · Post by **jazzy** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 8:38 pm

sidba what about the rear lexus lites we have. they are ment for left hand drive cars as well, but i c no difference, and neva bn pulled over for them.

Scorpio1 · Post by **Scorpio1** » Mon Mar 01, 2004 8:44 pm

I do see a problem though...

How would we adjust them so the projectors give off a nice even light?

The dealers wouldnâ€™t do it
