RE: Group Purchase: European Vento Headlights?

["Chris Warren" <tofer@mindspring.com>]

the major and only reason to upgrade is for the lighting itself!!  imagine
using a Bic lighter to see your way down the road.... then u take the same
road but used a mag light instead!  the light pattern, quality of light and
ability to upgrade to other or larger wattage bulbs!
THE STOCK LIGHTS ARE THE WORST LIGHTS ON A CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED!  THANK GOD
FOR THE FOGS!!
I am certainly interested and someone like myself would see the mod and be
impressed
YRMV!!
