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
