[V8] Euro Headlights

[Ron Wainwright]

oh..good info Scott.
 & I seen you had a few sets of Euros FS..question,
can you source new HL glass? I could use a new set &
I'm sure others would want/need a set..at leasr for
extras!....& figured with your contacts I'd ask you
before I delved into my contact book ;-)

 & saying Audi & "for some unapparent reason" in the
same sentence kinda makes me giggle..he he.
