Great information, Eric.
 Keep us updated if there are any problems (reflector corrosion, etc.)

  OK, slapped em in.  First, the housings were slightly smaller than the lense "holder" (the thin metal ring).  Need to shim it so it doesn't rattle.

  I am, however, impressed.  Pics:

  pic 154 is high beams, old sealed beam crap
  pic 155 is low beams, old sealed beam crap
  pic 156 is projectors, low beam
  pic 157 is projectors, high beam

  Definately, less "hot spotting", better diffusion of light, and, in my opinion, a better beam pattern than straight H4s.  I reccomend them to any mk2 folks not wanting to go euros.

    Ok, got the lights from ProCarParts, in 6x8 size (6054s) for my Rabbit Truck.

    1st:  Housing, and I think the lense is plastic

    2nd:  The projector lense, looks like its glass

    3rd:  They are pretty cheaply made, no city light socket (easy to add, cause of plastic housing.  Projector lense is "floating" on two feet that screw through the housing.

    4th:  They LOOK good...dunno about light output yet.  I will take a bunch of pics of before and after, and of the lenses themselves.

    5th:  ProCarParts sends 90/100 bulbs with the stuff!!! yes, they are that wanna be HID crap, but atleast they send some decent wattage bulbs.  Shipping was fast, and was well packed.

    More later once I get them installed.
