Re: more euro lights - light pattern question

Hi Albert!
    Why not  switch  bulbs from left to right?  I have had some variation in
manufacturers and this may be something to consider.  Also, have any of you
listers tried the new NARVA Xenon charged bulbs.  I received a flyer from
Blaufergnugen this last week and they have really nice things to say about
this new product.
