1. if it is about lighting and Dan Stern said it, yes.

2. yes.

bandaids won't fix the headlights on 80's Audis.  1. the lenses are
probably so pitted they are junk.  2. the beam pattern is poor.  3.
there is typically a significant voltage drop by the time the juice gets
tot he filaments due to its roundabout path.  install relays.

I see no reason not to drop 3-500 oil dollars on a set of real
headlights for these cars.  did it to my 90Q asap.  the coupe was a bit
of another story, of course, for those with long memories...
