euro lights

One thing I like about having an older Audi Coupe is the fact that I have
two choices when upgrading to Euro light systems.

Since my Coupe has the four rectangular lights, I decided to buy the Bosch
H4 E code lamps for my car, rather than spend big bucks on the real deal
Euro lenses. Sure, it might not give me the euro look, but I think my car
looks pretty good the way it is. A new wiring harness, relays and
appropriate fuses matched with a quality set of H4 bulbs made a huge
difference when driving at night.

These lights have served me well. Most people who ride in my car tell me I
have amazing high beams, and I'm not even running high wattage bulbs! This
can only mean two things: 1)Most people use DOT lamps, and just don't know
what a good beam pattern is like, AND  2)E Code lamps are far more efficient
than DOT lamps. If I'm running regular Hella 55/60 watt bulbs, just imagine
80 watt or higher bulbs.

Enough said, E Code is the best.
