I have the Phantom headlight covers on my black '95.  The "holes" are both round, with the high beam opening being slightly 
smaller, which IMHO, look great with the taper of the headlight.  I bought them to protect my headlights after having two of 
them broken with flying rocks...and one cover now has a starburst crack in it from another hit!  As to the Hella dual rounds, 
I believe they are more than a cosmetic upgrade for those that need improved lighting, as I have found our factory headlights 
to be woefully inadequate.  The Hellas allow you to use higher wattage bulbs and the reflectors are far superior.  I have 
Hella headlights on two other rigs that have the standard round or square headlights, and they are EXCELLENT!  I ran Hella 
7"x9" square lights on my '84 GTI with 55 watt/100 watt bulbs...wish I could put those in my VR6!  Anywho, I paid $49.95 for 
the Phantoms (black) at my VW dealer here in Oregon.
