hi all

are the mk1 rear lights any different from the mk1 face lift model?

what i really want to know is .. does it use a double filament bulb at the top as well as the bottom?,

so you would have top and bottom side lights, might sound an odd sort of question but i feel it needs a larger area of side light at the rear.

newer cars use a larger area/style of side light, and my old passat!.

I think the facelift MK1 lights are just that,a facelift. I 'm nearly sure the light pattern is the same and it's just the housing/light unit that got a bit tarted up. I'm sure it wouldn't take much to doctor it to have lights top and bottom, and I agree with you it does need it..

Best of luck,

Rob

we are agreed then !

im going to look into this and keep all posted

Please do. Also I'm sure the pre-facelift units could be done the same way (top and bottom). If you find a way I'd be interested in doing it myself.

Best of luck,

As far as I know the MK1 rear lights and MK1 'facelift' lights are the same light set up, so apart from swapping the clusters over the lights, in the main, are the same. Just look a LOT better IMO. I know someone who did this to their MK1 Superb, looks much better - Well worth doing!
