Never seen a set like that before! But not a fan, sorry, they just don't work with the indicators.

Look odd. RJ's re the only type i like. And they should only be fitted to mk1's IMO.

they dont look right to me tbh.
decent mk2 quad headlight's fill the indicator and light holders, so retaining original mk2 grill ect?
look like mk1 quad lights with a mk2 grill smothed in??

a mk 2 grill is almost twice the size of the grill on these lights

^lol

There definatley for a mk1 I'm sure I remember a black nova in the 90's having something similar. I quite like them but they appear to make your car look bogeyed and cross bred lol

Mk1 frontend FTW ;)

lmfao @ the dark pic!

Pic of the light pattern? They're an odd size so it might be worth finding out what you can replace the lamps with (my standard Cibie lamps in my quad panel were shocking).

I really really really don't like they way the indicator is left, look awful. My advice would be either fit Mk1 wings with Mk1 indicators (at least the indicator would be full height then), or totally blank out the indicator and relocate to the bumper.

They are for a Mk2 btw, the angle of them shows that. Plus the lips either side are supposed to fit in under the bumper.

Dude i have a set of front mk2 indicators, i also have some red tint left from when i did the half tint rears (if you have seen them, i tinted them really well) if you want i can tint the indicators for you,or you buy the red tint and the indicators off me so you don't need do it to yours, PM me if your interested, as im sure with the bumper fitting over the bottoms, and red side indicators it will look good.

I had a set of them and they were definately for a MK2 nova, but didnt seem to fit very well!:( Did suit the MK1 nova better that they found theyre way onto!:thumb:

Light beam on them is terrible as well, a calibra has better front lights (and thats saying somehting)lollollollollollol

Keep the standard lights!
