Vento Head lights

515 Views 9 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Lobstrosity
I bought a set of Vento head lights. I was aware that I would need to buy brackets but these lights won't line up with anything. Does anyone have any instructions and or pictures of their vento lights? I really need pics without the grill on. Anyway. I will also sell to the first $200 to come my way. That's $200 plus shipping, as is, non negotiable. I just don't have the time to mess with lights, and I'm not going for a show car so head lights don't mean that much to me.

If you think people at shows are going to be able to figure out that you have eurospec Vento lighting, you are sadly mistaken. Most people cannot tell the difference. And with the massive improvement in lighting you will get, you should make the time to mess with the lights to install them.
Do a search on installing Mk4s or Dual round headlights, all the installation is the same.

I installed a set of MK4 look lights on my friends golf. They are not the same install. They are close, but not the same. Anyway these are the clear Hella vento lights. I'm still lookin gor pics of installs, mainly the brackets.

Before going through the trouble of fabricating brackets (as there is not a mounting kit available unless you bought from a company which supplied their their own fabricated bracket system), first make sure you have theb LHD lights. There are a bunch of RHD lights floating around. Looking at the light there should be arrows in the corner of the lens. Looking at the light head on the arrow should point to your left. If so start fabricating brackets...if they point to the right...don't bother and put the lights in the attic as they are pretty much worthless.

Not necessarily true... the little arrow means nothing.
I have RHD lights, and the arrow points the same way as on Jason's LHD lights.

By any chance does Jason have the smoked lights form In-Pro? If so you are right...the arrows are not a good indicator. On the clear Hella lights the arrows seem to be pretty accurate. Whenever I read of someone with Vento lights without a mounting kit the RHD lights come to mind as I'm sure there are many sets that people are trying to get rid of especially when the price is around $200.

yup.
Re: Vento Head lights (Lobstrosity)

Yeah I think these are RHD. I just checked the place I got them at. The price went down to about 80 for a set. I'm just going to return them, I shouldn't have a problem seeing how they aren't the right lights which is fraud. Unless there is anyone that wants RHD lights for $200.
Re: Vento Head lights (blinkinbanana)

lol... I heard that last night, I was wondering if that is where you got them from.

Return them, get a refund. Gaki in Seattle went into the same group buy, and he returned his when he found out they were wrong.
btw... thanks for the rear map lights
