Matt H Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 apart from the black housing, what are the differences between the facelift and non facelift lights? basically im trying decide whether to buy new or refurb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 1, 2007 Share Posted March 1, 2007 assuming you're talking headlights, it's the fact you're side light isn't in the main housing but down in the bumper where the indicator normally is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yeah there's no sidelight in the facelifts. Also the lens has a lot less lines on it. It's got no lines at all where the beam shines out, only above that. Another thing, folks are always saying the facelift lights have black inners but they don't it's like a bronze colour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 assuming you're talking headlights, it's the fact you're side light isn't in the main housing but down in the bumper where the indicator normally is. oh right, so what goes in the space where the side light once was?

Jake Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Nothing. There's no sidelight but there's not a hole either. It's a different design inner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted March 2, 2007 Author Share Posted March 2, 2007 oh right o.k then. umm I quite like having two side lights, one in the main housing then one in my facelight indicators. I suppose getting new ones would mean loosing that top side light. umm tricky. what do you think, refurb or new? bearing in mind new are £400!

Jake Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 They have electric beam adjustment motors on the dipped beam as well but the dial inside the car and wiring is obviously not included. It's not a major job to rig up if you want that adjustment though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Yeah it's not a major advantage. I think it's only there to give the UK owners something to play with while they're waiting for the turbos to spool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
