[s-cars] Euro lights question

[Lee Levitt]

Mike,

I would *guess* that a set of headlamps from a UK S6 would fit on your car.
A set from a UK S4 would not, so you will need to make sure that it is an
S6.

Second, you will have to change the lenses as the cutoff on UK headlamps is
up and to the left rather than up and to the right. Lenses are available as
replacements from several sources, but will run $100 or $150 for the pair.
By the time you add in shipping and the cost of the lamps, you might as well
just buy new.

Don't worry about the lack of orange in the turn signals...just use yellow
bulbs and you'll be fine.

Wiring *should* be identical, plug and play.

We did a group purchase last winter through PUMA (www.puma-access.com)
