James, >The prices for the grille sound unbelievably cheap, makes me wonder. >I saw quad grilles while in Berlin in '95 and was intrigued. I asked >Helmut about them but he said he had never seen them. That's not 100% true: There are some quad headlights on the road. The standard round hi/lo lights and additional spot lights in same diameter. This seems to be an old design and I do not know a source where to buy. I guess they are sold out. At present there are those quad rectangular headlights with Hella DE projector system available at Projectzwo. >The one's I saw look like the late A2 GTI and Cabrio grilles with smaller >5" driving lights inboard of the 7" hi/lo lights. They definately look >great, but I have yet to see any source for them. I wonder why no parts dealer offer these grilles in Germany. Maybe it's a chapter of missing TUV approval. >But that same summer I was in Berlin, I saw that the police had different >lights in their Vanagons. Some of them were equipped with 2 light grilles >with 9" round lights. Now that is also something that can make a >difference with night vision. IF anyone else knows anything about these >lights, please let me know. This is what I haven't seen, even I was several times in Berlin. Usual police Vanagons are equipped with the standard round headlights. There are no specials I know. Helmut '80 Vanagaudi |
