headlights

[Paul Meyers]

IMHO, it has nothing whatsover to do with what the car is worth, so
kilometers are not the issue. It has everything to do with what your life is
worth. Mine, at least to me, is quite valuable. Thus, I put euros on all my
audis. BTW, you can install the Euros and the Blau harness so that it is
entirely reversible, should you decide to swap into a vehicle that will
accept the lights. My 3 are all installed that way.

That's my plan with my '88 too. With only a 140,000km on the clock the car
is worth it.
