Headlights.

[Nickrobz]

Hey people just a quick question did all the cupras come with the black bits in the headlights. Reson im asking is because i have a cupra but it has crome in the headlights and i want them black. Ive had a search but ive found a few threads saying they were black as standerd. Also anyidea where i can get them from thanks.

I was pretty sure they were all black, don't quote me though. what year is it?

 

[markmeus]

Definetly should be black if it's a cupra.

Having said that in your avatar the chrome ones looks quite good, breaks up the black nicely.

 

[Nickrobz]

Its a y Reg so 2001. Cheers markmeus i prefer the black ones lol thanks for the replys. Anyone have an idea where i can get them from.

 

[markmeus]

They're quite hard to get without going through dealers, you could try looking on eBay for people breaking Cupra's but headlights tend to get snapped up pretty quick.

It's probably worth asking seremotors on the forum for a price, at least then you have a guideline of what they're worth brand new.

 

[artemis_1991]

Yeah, will be pretty difficult to get hold of cheap.

Out of interest, are your headlights twin beam or single beam ones?

 

[markmeus]

Mine? are single beam.

 

[artemis_1991]

lol, sorry no I know yours are. I was on about nickrobz

 

[markmeus]

I'd be 99% sure they're twin. Can't imagine someone putting single beam ones on a Cupra.

Having said that, it wouldnt be overly noticable, mk3 single beam headlights look a lot better than the mk4 ones.

 

[artemis_1991]

True, just wondering, as someone may have put single beams on without realising as a replacement set which may be why his are silver not black?

All cupras came with the black bits in, if your dont have them then its prob had a front end due to an accident in the past which you dont know about and someone has put the more obtainable/cheaper headlamps in. As for cupra ones they are only £100 each from a dealer! snip!

These headlights do pop up on ebay every so often, around £40 when they do.

I got mine for £35 delivered, just search ebay for them or search for any ibiza cupras that people are breaking and ask what they got left.

Can someone explain the black or chrom 'bits' yor talking about please?

 

[artemis_1991]

Its the bit around the inside edge of the headlight,

Black

Silver/Chrome

 

[Myki da Pyki]

There not actually black there grey the same as the bump strips

if your dont have them then its prob had a front end due to an accident in the past which you dont know about and someone has put the more obtainable/cheaper headlamps in.

Or someone wanted to replace tired looking/ stonechipped headlights, or someone broke one and replaced both to match! it's not always an accident which causes the problems!!!

 

[markmeus]

You could always paint them black or grey or whatever.

 

[artemis_1991]

Think you have to heat them in an autoclave or oven to open the casing to paint them.

 

[Nickrobz]

Yeah, will be pretty difficult to get hold of cheap.

Out of interest, are your headlights twin beam or single beam ones?

I dont know lol double i think. How do i find out.

 

[artemis_1991]

I see, Didn't know they did double silver ones. Might someone have painted the grey parts silver?
