Fwd: RE: Re: Small Projector Lights that really work?

[Chris Dyer]

This orig. post was not about converting traditional headlights to a xenon 
system. I was interested in some new, tiny Hella DE aux. driving lights that 
are self contained units; extra lights in other words, like yer basic fog 
lights n' such.

I'm searching trying to find prices for the pair. I figure if they're the 
same price or lower than euros w/relays, I'd rather get these Hella DE's.  
If anyone finds a price before I do, lemmy know!
