[V8] Euro Light bulbs

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Memory Refresh for you:

Competition Limited now in Traverse City, MI (was in Pinckney, MI):

The one for the stock DOT lights is WR 9005\6A for the 9005/9006  
bulbs.  You might either want to buy that and rewire it for the Euros  
or make up your own.  I forget who has the pinout for the headlight  
housings (I seem to remember dave Head having that).  Also, bypass or  
hack required for the headlight circuit warning required.  Did a  
writeup about that years ago. Maybe I can dig that one up.
