[s-cars] 9011/9012 Update - The bad news

[Tim Dahm]

My local (Mankato, MN) JD dealer had located several (more than 10)  at 
other dealers within a 75 mile radius,
- had some for me the same day I called them.  $26.77 or so each for the 
9012 low beams (of course this is
farm country USA).  The high beams are in stock for $38.95 each at 
www.danielsternlighting.com, didn't
check with Stern Lighting on the low beams since I already had them. 
Also found the 9011 high beams
at http://www.candlepowerinc.com/?url=2  for $46.86 each. 

I can't comment on future availability.
