headlights

[Roger M. Woodbury]

I have used the quad Euro set up in my Audi coupe, plus other four headlight
installations in the past.  They are far superior to the standard DOT set
up.

However, the problem with the Audi coupes was that the US headlight
assemblies recessed the headlamps in nacelles that gathered dirt and general
road slime like a vacuum cleaner.  If the real European headlamp assemblies
are available they should be used, as they will mount flush with the hood
and fenders and make a smooth front that will remain cleaner in foul
weather.

The headlight design was a major reason why my Audi coupe remained in
service only eleven months and sixteen thousand miles.  Despite it
outstanding winter capabilities (it was just front wheel drive), is was
impossible to drive distance at night in sloppy winter weather.
