Hi All,

Gmbulley wrote about a friend installing Vanagon lights in his Scirocco, I think his friend installed the euro spec Scirocco lights. While they look like US spec Vanagon lights, the European spec Scirocco lights have a totally different light pattern from the ones on a Vanagon, just look at the lense itself and you can see the difference. I also did this update to my '87 Scirocco when I had it and the difference is incredible, lots of light going down the road instead of lots of light going nowhere in particular!
