RE: UrQ lighting upgrades

["Buchholz, Steven" <Steven.Buchholz@kla-tencor.com>]

I've got the Cibie Euros on mine.  Sorry that I can't tell you where they
came from as they were on the car when I bought it.  I really prefer the
Cibies with the clear corner marker over the Bosch units I've seen with the
yellow corner.  Even at stock wattages the lights do a very good job ...
especially the brights.  Since you have an '83 your headlights & grille are
vertical, so even if you wanted to go with the GT Coupe's lights you'd need
the grille to match.  That said, it really isn't _that_ different ... at the
New Dimensions show a few years back there was a white qtc that had
mismatched Euro lights, one vertical and the other sloped ... I actually did
not notice until Ken Keith pointed it out to me.  

Keep in mind that you can get the quad setup H1/H4 (?) lights that fit your
car as it is.  Somewhere in my currently inaccessible personal mail folder I
have the information about a $350 HID upgrade for that style of light ...

HTH!
