Ya i know, but i'm just saying that since Jasons friend is going to england,
it will be harder to track down a left hand drive 92 spec dash, than if his
friend were going to Germany or somewhere on the continent.

Again, i was aware of the differences in lighting pattern, that is why they
had to find lights from a scirocco originally from the continent(france,
germany or somewhere)  That is why they are having troubles finding the last
light i need.  Left hand drive roccos are hard to come by in the UK.  I did
try to get a new set from a dealer over there(again, they would order them
from Germany) but it turned out to allmost as expensive as it would be for
me to order them from the states.  So going with a used set was all i could
afford.

Thanks for the warnings, but i made sure i got everything straight before i
went over there.  Now if i could just get that last light, i'd have euro
lights, and be able to mount the grille spoiler i picked up over there too.
Frustrating.
