   Hi Guys
   
   Im going to do the mk1 to mk2 conversion and just hit me if i get the mk2 slam pannel the lights will fit but will they fit with the mk1 wiring ?
   
   do the mk1 headlights have the same connectors as the mk2 headlights ?
   
   so can i just literally unplug the mk1's then plug in the mk2's
   
   thanks in advance

   i thought about doin this, bonet, slam panel, grill, lights, wings needed. Also some cuttin of the car is needed for the slam panel unsure where abouts. But far as my knowlege goes its the same loom.

    I`ve never heard of the connectors being different,but i`ve heard you need to cut a small piece out of the inner wings each side(at the front)
