Yeah they are black crystal fk headlights non angel eyes....angel eyes have a projector on the outside lamp, but each light unit on mine take 2 h7's, therefore when on full beam all fourlight up and its well bright. Got mine for 128.50 inc delivery and indicators, it was a group buy.
Thanks for the comments!!!!!!!!!!!!!

cheers dave!!!!
here are the other types of FK lights
Crystal angels (also come in black and blue chrome no pics sorry for angel versions of these but will be the same in design with a projector lamp etc) for POLO MK4
Crystal none angels
Black Cyrstals none angels
Blue cyrstals for golf none angels (will be similar for polo except unit will be a different shape)

ditto on the "rest of the car", just how much work have you put into that, it's scary
(angel eyes = bleh to me, the regular ones just there look great
and far better than your average get-two-small-round-lights-and-put-some-body-colour-plastic-between-em max power job)

I wish they did projector/angel eyes for the Mark3....
And yes, that is one helluva ride.

again with the cut-outs, why is it always cut outs with polos
(dim memory -- ) the hall sender?

i have been told previously on another forum that it could be a temp sensor..is this a possiblity?
Thanks

that just sounds wierd, but conceivably the ECU / fuel system might adjust for the different density of air and vaporisation rate of petrol at different ambient temperatures.... it gets it wrong, the car runs far too rich or lean, phut... just like not setting your choke properly on a carbed (non VW
) car (similar for the lambda sensor, and i'd expect the lambda to have far more effect than the temp in such a situation)
usually hearing about this sort of thing it's something in the ignition system tho...

it starts and runs for a second tho, i can get the revs up really high but then it just dies its wierd
