TO get on any oh a Euro ebay ; go to regular USA ebay & on the main page scroll to the bottom & pick your country to shop on;

good idea to use a translator or link like this one

http://world.altavista.com/

(don't know what you are referring to about the bulbs....) btw: What kind of food do you cook? I just drove home from the Thai/ Japanese place I get oil from, with 35 gallons that is now filtering in the garage.....
mmmmmmmmmmmmm tempura

Thanks for euro ebay

Cooked lots of different foods, but now I'm doin the hospital gig. 0 transfats My car has lost 25lbs in just the last year! The taillight thread talked about using the empty plug in the USA? brackets. I drive to work at 5:00am and you know how they are here is So. Fla., figured more rear illumination the better. Besides that might look good without looking modified.
Tempura/thai/japanese/chinese/many others = good oil that is normally well taken care of. Rice flour and cornstarch are the usual batters and coatings, they require less so the oil stays cleaner and they normally skim the excess off the top before it burns and damages the oil and end flavor. Like they say garbage in -garbage out.

Thanks mybenz123

Read all the threads but not registered with schumacher so can't get a hold of brandon. Besides salvage yards where can one find the light bulb sockets. I found some at local auto stores but won't fit inside the plastic housing.

its a big boy thread without pictures.. just words.. jk jk.. I too need to learn how to get my euros working.. you and your french euros...


all you do is get another light bulb socket.. and put a jumper from the other brake light.


you could ask brandon at the other place

I can have yellow fogs...
