These were huge 9" monsters. I recognized them from having broken a brand new lens on my own Euro spec 928 a few years back. They set me back $244 each. I brought the things up to the front counter and to my delight, they charged me $5 each including all the buckets and mounts. I stared at them for months trying t decide it I sholud plug them into my Vanagon grill. Nah....... too big. I stuck them on ebay and a 928 loving fellow begged to buy them for $250 for the pair. Ummm-ummmm good cash. I am now trying to figure out a way to but one of those BMW e30 projector lamps in there. Has anyone else tried this? I think they would be perfect conversion for the rectangular headlight folks who want a different look. BenT <A HREF="http://hometown.aol.com/bentbtstr8/myhomepage/index.html">Vanagon Cafe</A> |
