Yea Ken!

I've got one of these on Vinnie (our 85 GL Westie) and it looks great!

For all you pre-85er'sŠIf light has ever been a problem, this grille
and lights will help. Add to the kit a set of H-4 headlamps with higher
wattage lights and you will have a <underline>great</underline> light
system output. Just make sure to upgrade the wiring with heavier gauge
wiring and a couple of relays to keep from buring out your switches
inside.

I still have to sort out the toggle and relay setup for my driving
lights, but in the end I'll have 460 watts across the front! Right now
I have 260w on high beams with 180w on low. And yes, it passed Virginia
inspection without any problems recently. The shop said that as long as
the pattern was correct they would pass it (even if it didn't have DOT
on the lens). This time the driving lights were treated as ornamental
because they weren't wired. For a lot less hassle that's something to
remember for the future, eh?

Any q's regarding the SA grille p-mail me.
