I don't think I'll ever accuse the bureaucracy of being in synch with
reality...
One of the reasons for not having the mains on is the albedo of falling
snow or
fog can be enough to blind you when reflecting the low beams.


Anyway, the new kid is getting a rack RR today, it's new Bosch eyeballs
are waiting
for the weekend to go in.  Any recommendations for replacement fog units
?  The tiny
ones on it right now are nice and small, they actually look like what
Audi might have
used if they had been standard, unless you get close and see the
brackets.

The Hella 550s are bigger than I think would look right, and the gruuuvy
little round
jobbies probably also would strike me as odd.  I have some old Bosch
units and a pair
of nickel Cibies, but they look too big as well.  Blau sent a flyer w/
the euros that
showed some oval units that might fit.  Any other suggestions ?
