PHIL - Please THINK before you post

In a message dated 97-01-15 03:32:03 EST, you write:

<< I have long suspected that you don't really know what you're talking
 about, and the above confirms it.  Take a look at the parts microfiche.
 
 My lights are 856 941 029A (left side) and 856 941 030A (right side).

>>>>YO PHIL, if you aren't going to read my posts, then lets drop this right
now....  The reason you have a right and left side is becuz of the center
high beam location, not becuz of the beam pattern....  If you want to
discredit my homework, do so from knowledge and btdt, not from your
chair.....  You asked for specifics, I gave them to you...  This is nothing
new in the lighting mod department....  For simplicity, and the fact you have
no interest in better lighting, might I sugggest you simply address your
driving/fogs and leave the rest alone....  You are arguing a proven mod from
your keyboard, you want to chase the lumens with the 100/170w bulbs (and that
indicated to me a long time ago that maybe its you that might be firing
blanks from the "big guns"), KNOCK yourself out....  Has ANYBODY on your side
of the pond even tried this?  I think not, if so, have them post up findings,
"here's what happened doing this, here's what happened doing this...."  It
doesn't cost you a lot of money, tho, it doesn't cost you anything to sit in
a chair and argue....  I have all your posts to date on this....  You don't
want to do it, just say so....  I am offering a mod to existing euro lighting
that I learned (and until now, didn't even post up) years ago, AND it
WORKS.....  Instead of calling me an idiot, and if you ck the archives, I
don't generally spend this much time on things I know nothing about, this is
not my style.....  I personally have read posts from you that are dead nuts
wrong in explaining things you feel you have knowledge on....  To flame me on
this subject, just shows no INTEREST in doing something....  You are starting
to read what you WANT to read into my posts (you just did it on the awd-dry
thing), then argue, and there I can't help you.... 
>>>>>>>>>>>>>
 
 The rounds and quad rectangle of which you speak are, comparatively,
 crap and are generally so accepted to be amongst UK club members.  I
 have the ur-quattro quads on my 85 GT and they're just as you describe.
 Left and right _are_ interchangeable.
>>>>>>  YOU ARE RUNNING EUROS THERE MR PHIL....  I have continually argued
that euros are generally crap, PERIOD....  READ my posts, phil....  I have
argued that ALL along....  Z-beams are better, that has been my argument,
READ my posts.... "Given the euro thing...." has been my posts.   You have no
interest in that either.....  Are any of the covetted UK members running
z-beams or euro swaps?  Me thinks not from your posts


>>>>>>> 
 With my lights, sitting on low beam facing a wall, if the horizontal
 cutoffs are level then the high section to the left (RHD - along the
 roadside) starts further to the left on the right-hand light and rises
 at a much shallower angle.  It also doesn't have as much light in it.
 The beam patterns from left and right, as they hit the wall, are _not_
 identical.
 >>>>>>>
Ok, I'm not looking at your lights, you are.....  NOW, THINK ABOUT WHAT YOU
ARE SAYING PHIL.....  IF that is the case, could you not have gains in either
scenario 1) or 2) in my former posts....  THINK HARD, I put YOUR argument on
paper, think man....  Given what you are saying, certainly there are gains in
one of them for lighting purposes (tho I would argue, another reason to
pursue the z-beam quads)....  I won't get you out of YOUR chair to do
something, that takes a plane ticket.....  Forget it, Phil.  Replace your
driving/fogs and post a report, that might be easier for you.....

Here, I propose to coimbra, is someone too happy making no changes
whatsoever.  Fine.  Please, let's move on.
