Okay i've been an idiot, i've smashed the glass on one of my headlights, and the parking bulb connectors are all corroded. So I went and got a new pair of the golf headlights that I was told would fit. Now I have a huge gap at the bottom of the light were ol'rain will have a field day.

Any advice on what to do? Im really desperate.

Sorry i can't offer any advice as i'm learning the ropes too....but i'm guessing people might want a bit more info, like is this for a Beetle..or a Golf??.....and pics always help with problem solving

Hope you get it sorted!

Hello right here goes,

I have a 1971 Super Bug, the headlights screw into the 3 points in the body (had to bend to little bits of metal with the screw holes forward. I've popped a few images up here!! The left headlights is original and the right is the new style ones.

Thanks very much for all your help!
