Could it be?  After months of consternation about the Euro light GP we appe=
ar to be on the verge of actually having some stuff to buy!  All the detail=
s are not quite in place, but I thought a heads-up (more like a wakeup call=
) would be in order so everyone who wants in could start saving their lunch=
 money.

For mid-September delivery it would be $509/pr with 55W bulbs for the 95-97=
 cars, which I think is a pretty darn good deal.  For the 92-94 cars it's n=
ot quite as super (never is, never was) at $699/pr with 55W bulbs.

For better bulbs the Philips Vision Plus and the Osram Silver Star are appa=
rently 50% brighter than their standard 55W brethren and run about $25/pr. =
 That's the same price neighborhood for 100 watters with no the need for re=
lays, and I hear they're indistinguishable from the 100s.

H1 HID kits are in the $400 range for CATZ, which have been used by listers=
 with good results.  There is a rumor afoot that after mid-August HID kits =
will be banned for sale in the US due to DOT and NHTSA protecting their pho=
ny-baloney jobs, but I don't know for sure about that.

More as it develops.  Film at 11.
