I've wasted hours and hours trying to do this as well. That ebay option was the only way around it I could find. Just CBA all round though so never bothered.

fair enough. Im thinking they would be RHD as they are from Hong Kong. They have RHD cars and drive on the left hand side of the road dont they?

Awesome.

Says they dont come with leveling motors? Easy enough to swap over?

I can only tell you about 6n2 lights- but this looked very difficult

I could see no way of removing the old motor without breaking something. So you'd have to buy new motors I reckon

I've bought a light switch and sunglass holder from vagteam before:
- the stuff came from Japan alright but in VW China packaging. That suggests LHD to me
- the quality of the switch was fine, same as original. The sunglass holder was definitely a quality control reject - the finish was terrible on it
- the stuff took two weeks to arrive

And they specify no refunds or returns. Hmmmm

Looking at this picture. It looks like the headlight adjustment motor is just a twist and push fit (part 3a). Its in there pretty good though

Yeah, you can twist the motor and release it easy

But the ball on the end of 3a is a tight fit in a bracket on the back of the reflector. I'd just be wary of breaking the bracket when taking out the motor

ive messaged them to see if they are LHD or RHD lights

Anyone get these headlights?

Has anyone ever bought from this seller on ebay?

they never emailed me back after i sent them an message

No that's my problem and I've given them money.

I'll hit them up with a paypal dispute

e-mailed them loads of times and at least 10 ebay messages and nothing.

Their feed back with a lot of people say this when they've given them negative feed back.
