Euro Car Parts Question

  1. #1
    You know the MK2 Headlight selection?

    There is Astrum and Valeo... What is the difference?

    Does the cheaper version have a plastic front??

    I need glass as i will be putting HID's in them.

    the standed headlights have glass front but the angal eyes lights have a plastic!
  3. #3
    Probably the Valeo has the aim adjuster built in and the other one dosent.
  4. #4
    So the cheaper version will have to be adjusted manually?

    But the Valeo one will be used to adjust with the thing under the steering wheel?

    they are the same mate

    valeo=genuine
    other make,not genuine

    they are automatic aswell you just need to swap your motors and all your bulb holders over as non gen ones wont come with anything so will be just a shell basicly
