city lights

[Fred Munro]

I had the same idea with the Euros on my '91 200q, Lee, but the city lights
are pathetically weak. In addition, they scatter light all over the place
and are a real nuisance in fog or snow. I left mine disconnected, but YMMV.
A 25w bulb is available, but apparently it melts the socket.
