Euro lights into 4KCSQ

[passat TS]

Let me see my math:

2 harness for $20 (per your message) = $40 worth of parts.

Huw, this is just a joke. I never saw the Blau stuff, but bothers me this
kind of price difference, especially if you see the Hella Rallye 4000
harness I installed ($38).

The actual price at Susq is $28.23 for each Hella harness.

That's a good idea, I think I'll be calling Ken (Susq...) pretty soon.

Thanks for the tip,

Carlos.
