Cheapest Hella supplier?

[Tom Love]

Just curious what was wrong with PG in Canada.
Shipping cost?
I was thinking of ordering some Euro projectors for my A4 from them but I 
have not received a shipping quote from them yet.
I have heard good things about Cibie but I have not used them since the 
70's.
I can tell you though that in my recent experiences (10 yrs) with Hella vs 
Bosch, Bosch wins. Using a 4kq as one example I have found that with euro H4 
units using Osram bulbs (100/80) that the bosch lenses gave better lighting 
on the same stretches of road that I regularly drive. My feelings are the 
same for after market fog lights. I have even had issues with Hella H4 bulbs 
not seeming quite as good as Osram.
