Dave, The rubber boot sare the same as the garden variety round Hella H4's. Same goes for the sockets and lights. New aftermarket sockets are $5 each side from my local retailer in SF. I'll have to check my spare e-codes to look over the "city light" sockets. As I recall they were stock items on some US models too. BenT |
