To Everyone,

Thanks all for your response on my lackolight Ur-q..

The part numbers for my '78-'84 80 euro lights swap
on my '83 Ur-q are as follows:

I was able to get the euro headlights new from Westex
in CA. (wholesale order).  And the Flasher lights (I used
these as parking lights) through Anderson Brothers 
Specialties in Chanhassen, MN  (612) 937-8639. (Kent or Keith). All for about
$350.00

The only modification I had, was to use '85-'87 4000q
"eyebrows" or trim pieces above and below. 
Slight mod to the upper plastic and lower ones was all
it took. 
Way clean look, super lights.

I even went as far as Adobe photoshoping what the new
lights would look like to a photo, before installation. 
(I used the slidin' red '89 Ur-q from (D. lawson/elliot to "convert" to a
Mars red '83 stateside. And even added tons of Hella driving lights just to
see that also).

With all that I still have decided to go with minimal blockage, high  wattage
and Hella cool looks.... possibly the 'ol Hella 500's again, but with 100W
bulbs.

I just tuned my old '85 4000s q (the one I ran at Virginia City last year)
for the new owner.... boy ladies can really tras..... well anyway, my 'ol
ride has
the 500's on the front (still) and I swapped over the
cover just to see what it looked like.  They aren't that
small and will tuck in nicely without blockage.

Thanks for your input!
