Producing the light (the bulb) is only part of the solution. The other part is putting the light where it will do the most good and the least harm. That is what the reflectors do on the E-Code headlamps. I don't think it will be so easy to find E-Code headlamps in a junk yard. >> Ahh, my good man, but you are wrong ;-) I DO have E-Code lamps and they DID come from a junkyard! Came out of a Peugot station wagon, of all things, and they set me back $25.00 for the pair. They are made by Carello in Italy. I had never used Carello lamps before but the beam pattern and cut-off of these is quite impressive. David Stearn Lighting sells Carello but I don't know what the new cost is. Based on their performance tho, I think I would prefer these over the Bosch and definetly over the Hella's. Sam Bateman Fork Union, VA '87 Vanagon GL |
