I bet my headlights would finally be bright - for a nanosecond ;-) Had a UPS once with a 120V battery. Not what I was expecting to see when I popped the lid. If you've got the stock 2.1l US-spec headlights you'll never be able to see with them on low beam, no matter how bright they are. If that's any comfort. Having been accustomed to E-code 7" round lights on my '84 I was shocked when I got the '89. I gave my former wife a ride and she said "Are your lights on?" Since I couldn't afford an SA grille I got a 1.9l one and am back to E-code 7" round lights (Bosch ones) and am quite happy again. I keep meaning to put relays in but haven't yet. Yours, David |
