[s-cars] stock headlights

[Lee Levitt]

My son thought his C4 A6 was a snow plow and punched a snowbank so 
hard it broke the Stebel airhorn mounted 8" behind the right side 
lower grille. The mounting point on the bumper for that grille was 
destroyed, so I drilled a small hole in the rim of the grille 
through the bumper and ran a ziptie through the holes, to the 
inside of the bumper. Completely invisible from the outside and 
pretty sturdy. If you're afraid of losing your grilles, a little 
protection like this might be useful.

Good idea on mocking up the fogs to check temp rise...but I think 
your biggest concern will be low and moderate speeds on a hot 
day...so it might be a while before you can test!
