JDM and vw and audi in the same sentence makes about as much sense as a virgin prostitute.... ...

rule number one dont EVER buy headlights on Ebay.....

unless they are oem.....

READ: waterspots, condensation.. etc etc.

rule number two...dont ever buy anything from a user that has the words RACER, GT, TYPE S, or anything like that in their name.

Trust me on that one.

Those look ghey.....perio d.

You cant polish a turd.

Dont do headlights on a bug in my opinion, spend your money elsewhere..... better wheels suspension, struts, shocks...etc


just my .02

dont do it.

irony: when a guy with a big yellow big bird looking car tells you not to buy something bc it will be a flaming target....

haha....(love yah wayne...)_ ;D

Skip the springs and go with coilovers. Infact, take that money you were going to dump into R32 (called Aristos, and you can usually pick up a used set fairly cheap) reproductions and put those towards a set of decent coilovers (K1s or FKs). The amount of money you'll spend on springs and struts/shocks will be the price of cheap coilovers. If you're just planning on running 1.5-2" drop springs on stock shocks you may as well save some bucks and cut your existing springs. They'll both end up blowing your stock shocks and, as a result, give you shitty road manners.

Here's a refinished set of Aristos with tires for $1000, and that was the most expensive set I found

i don't know much about beetle lights, but is it possible to tint them like what everyone does on golfs and jettas? i think they call it a joey mod or something.

I don't see why not as long as you don't paint the reflector parts. Even though they have a different design, they're built in the same way. I think it would look a bit funny since NB headlights already stick out like sore thumbs on the fenders, and a joey mod might exaggerate it. It could improve it too. If they were color matched it might help clean up the looks.
