Try eBay, people often advertise cars they're breaking on there. Few members on here may have some lying around but I'm afraid I don't.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

are you after standard ones? or aftermarket ones?

I believe the golf mk2 headlights fit. If you after something different.

and you have to modify the mounting points slightly so wouldnt call them a "direct" fit

Don't use mk2 use mk1 as the mounting plates are better and they are easier to fit if you go down the golf headlight route.

Anything can be made to fit, mine are angel eye (I know chavtastc) out of a Jetta. Just had to drill some holes and weld some captive nuts in so they could be adjusted

How much do you have to alter to get the mk 1 golf lights to fit, I need new ones for mine, but don't really want to go cutting the holes bigger as it's all nice and painted.

Has any one done fitted some?
Cheers
