RE: Driving Lights on '91 200

[TMein@aol.com]

Just installed Bosch Driving lights on my '89 200. Mechanically, amazingly
simple. Electronically, not so for me. The PIAA's should be even easier. 

The easiest mounting location is on the UNDERside of the front bumper.
Believe it or not, the bumper removes easily by unscrewing two large Allen
bolts (I believe 8MM). Use a high quality allen wrench; I twisted/wasted one
completely. In any case, once the bolts are free, the bumper slides forward.
Do this carefully! I used a skateboard to support/slide and my girlfriend to
help. It is not heavy, just cumbersome. You will have to detach the amber
light harness and a air filter hose, and some of the underpinning guards.
Very easy.  I installed my lights inboard of the allen bolt holes. There is a
slight slope to the bumper, so compensate for it with a degree of greater
than 90'.

The PIAA harness should be a thing of beauty, complete with a relay. You can
get a Audi foglight switch from a dealer or from Blaufergnugen (I think I
paid $50). Expensive, but it looks/works great. To route wire into the
interior, follow the engine hood release. Use existing gasket for H20
protection.

My Bosche's are awesome and they were cheap (79$). They are far brighter and
whiter than even my "upgraded" off-road only headlight bulbs. The PIAA's
should be even brighter with a much sharper cutoff. An excellent improvement
that makes driving an AUDI at night safe! (those aero lights really suck)
