    If the bottom mount straddles the battery tray it will be pretty strong, the top one would cause more of an issue I would have thought

    No worries dude, the light housings look sweet, lenses are a bit cloudy, the lenses cover the lights, mine are a bit crispy but I prefer crispy vw over, new and crap :)

  14. The lenses are cloudy indeed dude but i know i can rectify that no problem ive done it before
    Its a shame they have cracks in them otherwise i could make them look like new

    Ill do one of them to show what can be achieved with some time and effort

    The housings will stay even though i cant get them perfect as you say a bit crispy and genuine vw is often a lot better than ill fitting/working repro stuff
