Don't know about headlights, but WQ has 2 reverse & foglights on the back where as WP only has 1 of each.

The UK guys change them all the time, the rear just needs a simple wiring mod.. i'm unsure about the front, but every other WP in the UK seems to have WQ lights on it.

Theres only a few bits of trim that are interchageable between the two.
Gear knob, steering wheel, outer door strips/rubs or what ever you call them, seats & door trims.
Thats all i can think of off the top of my head.
Bumpers and the the front grill can be changed, but you need change them as a complete assembly.

I prefer the lights of the WP over the WQ.

With the wiring its just a simple matter of running 2 bits of figure 8 wire to either tail light. 1 will carry power for the fog light to the other side, and the other will carry reverse light power to the opposite side. Get another bulb holder/socket and after a bit of cutting wires and soldering your done.

so with the whole parts debate is there anywhere i could get WQ tail lights for my fez.
as well as some mud guards. this rain on these dodgy brisbane roadworks is annoying. throwing crud all up the side of it, expecially after i was it.
thnx in advance.
