Headlight options?

A3 8l pre-facelift headlight recommendations

It's time to upgrade headlights. Would people here recommend doing the mod (cutting the sheet metal) and fitting the facelift lights? Or should I be looking at an aftermarket solution ... realise it is personal taste - just wondered what people think.

I quite like what RichA3Turbo has fitted here:

And Dre_S3 has done here

However these seem to look OK...

AUDI A3 1995-2000 CHROME HALO HEADLIGHTS

But perhaps they are crap. What do people think? This a good alternative to the mod or should I just man up and get the Dremel out?

Not sure about DRL ones

AUDI A3 96-00 CHROME AUDI STYLE DRL HEAD

think they might look a bit naff. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Any ideas guys? I'm not that up to speed on the whole headlights situation.

Go for the genuine facelift lights (2nd hand) and if they're badly oxidised do the wet n dry restoration method.

The poor aftermarket ones are notorious for bad condensation and quality.
