Smashed up my baby (87 Scirocco 16v)

[hombre@elp.rr.com (John Erickson)]

Potterman is a good source, but...

eBay has Euro lights on it all the time.  I bought a good used set (with 
the turn signals and bulbs) for $160.  Patrick just bought a couple sets 
for under $100.

City lights are small (5w - like the ones for the rear license plate 
lights) bulbs in the main headlights.  I have mine set up to work with the 
parking lights.  Looks pretty cool.

I'm glad you're taking the opportunity to spend some bucks, man.  Hope it 
goes well.

John
