Hi Sarah, welcome to the forum.

Ok, do you want to change from the standard rectangular headlamps to the twin round headlamps, or something else ?

If you say in a bit more detail what you want to do, I could help you more.

i think the plain square headlights on my polo genesis are alrite, but i really like the older round style i was wondering if i could make the front of the car look like it has more "shapely" lamps if u get what i mean!

i cant explain but i want them to look more modern!

if you understand, do you have any idea where i can find pictures of styles!? cheers

Do you have the standard orange indicators ?

Fitting clear indicators makes the front end look more modern and they match the headlamps too. Best of all, they are cheap and easy to fit

Someone has put the nice "shapely" MK4 Golf headlights on a MK3 Polo, however, I suspect that this took a massive amount of work. (mostly bodywork I imagine)

I think to start with, I'd go with Dan's suggestion of getting some clear indicator lenses to start with (if you don't already have them).

Welcome to the forum!

How modern do you want to go?

lol or you could do what a lad has done in germany and put Bora headlights on his mk3.

i'm planning of changing mine too eventually. but not like Tony's i'm putting mk5 polo headlights on mine heehee

Does anybody know the owner of that red mk3? it would be nice to get him on the forum to give us a run down on how he did the headlights.

Yeah, I know Tony. He's a top bloke and well funny too.

His mate did all the body work for him. I think he used parts of a Merc Sprinter van, but most of it was custom 'one off'. He says it took a lot of work, which I can Imagine.

Certainly looks impressive, but as a first mod, maybe a bit much.

Yeah, it would look odd with just that mod.

Back to the topic.... Do Hella or Morrette do a twin headlamp conversion? if they don't, i would have thought they would be interested in developing a fitment.

Morette do a Twin headlamp conversion for about Â£270.
It has the full front grille but doesnt use different indicators which looks a bit weird

Yeah, it's probably better starting with changing indicators and go from there. Do you have any pics of yours ?
