mk1 1 and mk2 headlamps are different.

Ah ok. Well I have a set of MKI and MKII head lamp housings, so if needs be I'll swap over but even then, I cannot figure out how the two are different and where to mount them.

the covers are different too.

Wait a minute...

You guys poking fun at me? lol How is the cover any different? I am basing my information off of what I've seen and have of MKI and MII setups. I wonder if you Euros have different setups.

i'am sure mk1's and mk2's are slightly different, i'll check later as i have both.

ok, i finally got outside to take some pics, my surrounds have little cut out in them and the grille ends poke through, and the screw just a bit further back is what secures them on, you will see one side of mine is cracked

, still seem secure enuf.

let me know if you need any more.

Those pics are just what I needed. The only thing I could ask for is someone to take a pic of the headlamp without the bars and the surrounds so I can make sure that they are still the same setup as what I have over here. Otherwise, I guess I'll be looking to purchase a spare set of those headlamp surrounds if anyone has some.

quick edit: the guy I bought the headlamp grilles from also gave me some screws. Four are a bit long and two are shallow. I am wondering if the ones that hold them into place are really that long by chance and if they are, what side is the long and short. Looking at the picture, I would assume they have to be shallow based on the spacing of everything. Arg, almost need to see a spare set of these torn a part or just buy a whole assembly.

If anyone has any spare time or is willing, if someone can take a picture of a headlamp setup after the grilles and the black surrounds are unbolted, that would be great. Just one would be fine. I want to see how much different the headlamp unit is to mine or if it's just the black surround that I'm looking at obtaining. Thanks.
