5kcstq eurolight first impressions

[Paul Meyers]

H4s don't get you any more light. It's the reflectors and glass lenses, and
the european (vs. DOT) pattern.

After a couple of trips (including many hours at night) in the 87 Avant, my
wife now wants me to get her eurolights for her Chrysler Town & Country
minivan (sigh).

IMHO, Stongard is a waste of money (at least with the Bosch lights for turbo
cars), since replacement lenses are only about $25 from RPI or Metrix. Also,
numerous listers have reported lens cracking in the cold with Stongard.

The fact that these lights are available bolt-on makes these and 
other european cars appealing over other cars for that reason 
alone, besides all that road performance or safety stuff.

If I'd known about H4's in high school, I would have had them on my 
Toyota truck.

I have to followup on getting some Stongard now.  I wasn't going to 
put them on the car without it, but just did it.  I was a bit paranoid 
on the freeway last night.
