Headlight Relay website?



I just did my 1st headlight relay project this weekend after info from 
Timbo, Rick and Cathy.

Did a 86 VW Jetta GLI.  Changed them over to H4 with 55/100Watt bulbs. 8-)

Aside from adjusting them they are definitely nice...

Used a plastic set of Chineese Prison Camp clear lens.  Then this week I see 
a set of Euro smoke glass lens that I would rather have had. 8-(

Oh well it's a daily driver not a rocco. 8-)

Thanks guys for the tips.

PS. and yes Cathy my 1st set was kinda sloppy.  So I can  tell I will plan 
them out better on Onyx my 86 rocc.
