I was wondering if the two of u could kinda give some more info on how this is done, is there alot of fabricating invloved cause i have a 96 ls and am tired of the old lheadights and would love to do something like this soon, Thanx

Volkswagen
Jetta
1999 to 2004
keyword: headlights, or angel eyes

If Lexkost or LOTC doesn't write one up, I can throw something together. I'm sure they are, and it will be stickied.

Wiring is going to be different for everyone depending on what you want to blink, vs. just regular headlights.

For $120, I might take the plunge but I really want to get some tint on my windows first...it's hot out here.

no they do not just bolt on, you need to cut some of the area of the car.

I just started school so, finishing everything may take some time.
