[V8] Euro headlights on ebay

[Tony and Lillie]

I have a guy in Germany that I deal with, met him on Ebay. However, I've 
never bought V8 lights from him, as they are adequate for my driving 
(relayed and with 100W in the high beams). Bought several sets of 4000 twin 
bulb euro's from him, though. Never had anything broken. I believe his 
handle is german-seller2 or something to that effect. Anyhow, hope this 
helps someone out there.

Of course, you could just get them from Mr. DeWitt right here;-)
