On this car, they really looked stuck on. Maybe tho, I just wasn't
expecting to see them there...On other cars, such as the Saab, they look
okay. I added a set to my Volvo where the badges go, and they look okay
there.
Michael Spiers indicated that they may come as stock on the 1991 200TQ,
although I've seen '91s before and haven't noticed them...
This car *did* have US spec headlamps, or at least headlamps that look
exactly like my wife's headlamps...er, let me rephrase that, they looked
just like the lites on my wife, I mean, my wife's car.
Is it Friday yet? ;-)
Thanks Graydon!
