They do fit, aslong as you replace the bonnet wings and bumper at the same time

Easy Peasy if you've dismantled the front ends of both cars before and know how

. I prefer the mk4 to the mk5 tbh, i feel the mk5 is a bit of a bodged face lift especially with the replacing of the headlight carry on!

its not just a case of stripping the parts and replacing them though,,,and it definitely isnt easy peasy.

it would be more hassle than it's worth, although the mk5 headlights work a thousand times better than the mk4 ones

what??? why would getting angel eyes make it easier to fit.? They are obviously the same size!

In all honesty, it would not be worth while shelling the money out for the face conversion! It would be much more worthwhile just actually getting a mk5 wouldnt it??

I think he means MK4 Angel Eyes

mk4 angel eyes or projectors (anything really) lift the front end i think,,as said before the mk5 lights are more hassle then there worth,,unless its been stuffed on the front end and youve got a blank canvas to play with,,,,still no walk in the park mind.

my bad i ment to say was.... so it's harder to fit in mk5 lights ....so is it betta to get angel lights for a mk4 instead sorry for the mis understanding

mission of a job, the headlamps are a lot deeper than mk4 ones, just go for the crystal look ones, try www.venommotorsport.co.uk
