thanks again guys...the photos look good, the actual paint job isnt that good. im just happy almost all the rust is out.
there might still be some hiding where i couldnt see.
the headlights fitted perfectly. there are 3 small brackets that you fix the lights to...do u have them???? my other car never did, they had rusted off,
and i had to make them. i take it the angels should be the same as the crystals. just make sure the light is the right way up...there should be
quite a few holes all around(the lights mounting bracket)....that way there must be at least 3 that line up.
take a pic of the light...id like to see if they look the same as the crystals....that way i know if its worth my while buying them.

Yeah they are exatly like the crystals. The guy at autostyle told me,that im gonna have to modify....MODIFY WHAT haha. So i returned them, and got some other stuff. Hows the gap between the chrome trim and the lense itself? TonyZ has the mk1 heads also, and says they fit,but ther is a gap between the trim n light. Ima try and get pics of the angels.
