you wil lhave to modify the rad support and get harnesses to plug in, because they use different bulbs
check out the big DIY thread on top on this forum, its in there how to do it
no aftermarket headlights bolt to the NA rad support, they are all made for euro rad supports

. in other words... i dont wanna have fitament issues like people do w/ that $150 fiberglass bodykits... hah..

and im saying you will have fitment issues, you have to cut the NA support and with the brakets it will not sit 100% right
unless you get a euro rad support

sorry onelow... hah.... by fitament... im referring to the outside.. for instance theres a set of headlights for the mkIV that people complain dont line up w/ the bumper correctly (poor manufacturing)... i understand im going to have to do work to the inside...

heres the lights im looking at... im aware of the rad support change and the wiring issues... just curious if anyone has had any experience w/ them other than those two issues...

I bought a set of lights just like those, I think those are fk powerlook angel eyes.
I do not have the lights yet, the seller I bought from gave me a tracking number for ups but never gave ups the package, so when I contacted them to find out why, they told me the thing was shipped.
I contacted them again and said basically "no it hasnt" and they responded saying that the item was defective, and they sent it back to the manufacturer for replacement, that it would be JUNE before they got more. - they offered me STORE CREDIT for the lights. not a refund....
they also have two more of these on ebay for sale right now,

now, every time I email them, I have to wait two days for a response. I have emailed them demanding a refund, now I have to wait and see if that happens. im f*in pissed. I could buy a better set of halo headlights from another place for more money, but all my money is tied up in this friggin auction, probably forever.
