..and not just on Capris.. although MK3 headlights with the bonnet lip over them do look amazingly brutal. That said, someone (Simonrace?) had square Scirocco lights in an old MK3 Capri.. that looked well mean. But then it was tearing down the track at 130mph so it would do.
I kind of side with round, which look like big staring eyes, but there's some really good square lights out there too.. generally quite thin and slitty like, like an android's face.
Thoughts?

I remember seeing a MKIII with what I think were either austin meastro or montego headlamps installed. They looked pretty good cause there was no indicator stuck on the end like a mkII. Pretty cool and would look the biz with a debadged mkII grille in between.
Like this? Interesting to see how much they go for.

Those four square headlights look a bit "yanky" I think.. but single rectangular headlights, nice and thin.. they look the nuts.. just can't find the picture I'm after..

How about triple squares on each side?
Someone post a piccie of the Dutch mark 3 from the Bumpkin Party (remember, it's not a show ... ) to save me having to search the net for a similar piccie.
