Hi, just bought some clear side repeaters off eBay for the Polo (S reg) ...and they're different to the ones fitted - they have two plastic tabs instead of the large hole with 3 notches in the sides, so have I been given MKV ones? or is there a modified bulb holder to buy too!?
TIA

Theyre the wrong ones.
I did the same... had to buy new ones.

I had some like that...
So I cut the wires, stuck on some audio connectors, connected the wires to the side repeator and applied electrical tape !!!
THEN, when I had some different ones which would of fit my standard fit, I went to the scrappers, robbed the connector and fitted them to the wires as I'd left enough to do this !

I think some people get the MKIV and MKV mixed up! I reckon I'll get some Golf MKIII bulb holders from the breakers and solder them up rather than faff around trying to find someone who actually has what I want. Has anyone actually bought an after market part that fits
Uesd to get this all the time with Beetles.

Stick in in the for sale section. Im sure one of the guys with a mk5 will take it off your hands.
