Got some Vanagon Syncro lights and they 'look' like late-Euro Scirocco lights...
Will they fit?
Thanks.

No you can make them fit but they stick out farther.

As Tim said - they're a bit different/deeper
The center square lights are the same though.

What do you have more of? Time, or Money?

Speaking as a Syncro Vanagon owner I would also like to point out the U.S. Vanagons came with DOT lamps not the E code, and they suck.....Marc.

Do they suck worse than the double square Scirocco's?

These are the Vanagon headlights, the mounting bracket is way too tall, and the stock bracket for the quad headlights wouldn't accommodate the fogs very easily, plus I liked the rounds.

As you can see, they look about the same as the euros, however, they are curved to fit the front end of the vanagon. The edges towards the center of the car peek out from the hood about half an inch.
