[Biturbos4] S4 Headlights

[John]

When read your post I couldn't understand why you would want to spend $300 just
because a bulb went out... Why not just pay $40-$50 for a new pair bulbs?  Then
I looked around and discovered that a pair of brand name D2S bulbs are
~$200-$250 !! ouch!   Thanks for enlightening me, I think...  ;-)
