Because the 7" universal light units are already available in the US, they are
much cheaper than the VW-specific euro lights used in Buses, Golfs etc. The
visual difference is practically inexistent.

Yes, the rings alone is not necessary, they are only needed with the old
lights. I favor the newer style lights, as they are easier to get, and much
cheaper. The price for new headlights units of the old style is outrageous.
