Hi Nigel/Todd

Keep me posted and I will keep my eyes open.  I imagine something along the
lines of the Twin Headlamp upgrades currently available for many European
cars, using a plastic surround mounting Two Cibe light units would be the
idea?  These are normally shaped to match the old headlamp unit, and then
the plastic is colour coded to match the car.  They look good on some cars,
but Crap on others.  Anybody out there any good at design, fancy doing some
mock drawings?  The best ones I have seen are for the Escort Cosworth.
They use two light units per side.  One is a 5 1/4 and the other is smaller
(Similar to the Golf GTI).  They are also slightly prominent because of the
curvature of the car.

Considering the interest in "Euro" Headlights by the Us members of the
list, I think this could be a good selling product if the design is right.
I will copy this to the list to see what sort of responses come back.
