OK, so i took the pluge earlier today & ordered a set of genuine headlights from what i hope is a facelift A3 (mine is a 1998 A3 1.8T Sport).
I have ordered these from eurocarparts as the ebay items are unclear to me as to will they actually be the correct headlight alignment for us brits.
Anyways, i digress...
These are the part numbers from the ECP website...
471441950 NS HEADLAMP A3 01-03 A3 2001-03 L/H From 8L1-000001
471441960 OS HEADLAMP A3 01-03 A3 2001-03 L/H From 8L1-000001
Does anyone know if these are actually what i hope they are?
I hope they are facelift headlights that i will be able to fit into my 1998 A3?
From what i have read on this forum & tried to digest, my car will need a little modification to the wing area inside to accomodate them?
Im pretty sure i read somewhere that they wont just plug & play with the cars exisiting headlight connectors/wiring loom.
Where can i get the correct connectors/loom from?
Do i have to make the loom myself?
Are there any diagrams to help show me how to achieve this?
Sorry for all the probably dumb questions, lol
I just want to get them fitted as soon as possible so i can appreciate where my hard earned cash has gone! And also, im blind as a bat at night time aswell, hence another reason for the upgrade.
What i hope they are, are the projector style facelift headlights from the same shape A3 as what i have.
Thanks all
Pete.
