Replacing standard h/lights for cupras?

[Riko]

Hey guys. Hopefully its a simple question.
The search hasn't come up with what im looking for? I've got fairly a standard mk3 1.4 ibiza and noticed the headlights on the cupra look slightly different, like there's black around the edges of them? Are my eyes as bad as i think, or am i right? If so would they replace my standard ones without any trouble? How much would a set of those puppies cost me, or is there a 3rd party version available? As u can tell im still learning about things and just getting round to tarting it up!

Thanks in advance.

Same headlights apart from being black, probs cost an arm and a leg and will be rare n sort after could go to seat but might be like £80+ so could see if you could split the headlights and spray them black like the ford fiesta boys do to get rid of the orange.

Thought theyd be around that price. Are they any different otherwise do u know, like more bulbs or anything?

WOW! Thanks for that chris i assume u mean £104 each? Damn, thought it would be an easy upgrade... obviously not! lol.

cupra and some other models have a twin bulb reflector

saw a W reg 1.4 .cool/s today with twins on it

bumper off to swap em too but easy to do

And you need to fit a diode in your headlight wires if you don't have twin bulb headlights. Otherwise your short beams will turn off when you change to long beams. And they are meant to light up together when you use long beams.

easy upgrade but expensive,
