Default Phase 2 Headlights and Indicators

Would like a set of Phase 2 indicators and/or headlights or alternatively the black surround for Phase 1 lights.

Cheers

I think Enwood probably has the H4 single bulb units which came as standard on non T4's..no good painting them..they are only fit for the bin!

Search for T4's or all Phase 2 x40's being broken and you can usually get them for a bargain that way, I got mine for £50 from a 98 T4 MOT failure being broken on fleabay.

Cheers lads... Nah I've got a T4 twin bulb, 98 I think and apparently the phase 1's didn't come with those black surrounds (only the Phase 2's?)

Will keep an eye out for the some Phase 2's being scrapped and may paint 'em if I can't find any.

They definitely make the front end look a lot better.


Oh and Rich, haven't replied to your PM 'cause I don't have enough posts).

I'm good though matey, taking those wheels home next week and re-furbing 'em. how about you?

Just paint em mate, I did. The glass just clips off and the surround just pops off really easy. Some people used high temp black paint tins, me i just used a good quality black marker!
