Hey everybody just got back from Greece. Got 2 of the whole switch surrounds (euro model with cutout for height adjuster). These pieces also include the height adjusters. Does anybody need one?

Correction!

I did receive a euro switch panel, but it is not the same part # identified by Peter. I found a source for that part today and will advise to the differences. My indy ran the vacuum lines over the weekend and I am very impressed with the height adjusting function. The current switch panel, though, sucks.

Additionally, last night I hooked up the city lights. I achieved the true euro look by running pin 4 from the side markers into slot 58 in the 6-pin wiring assembly for the euro lights. This effectively allows operation of the city lights ONLY with the light switch turned to the first position AND no side markers (dim function deactivated by moving the pin). Now, when I operate the blinker with the lights on, I get ON/OFF...ON/OFF. I find this much more effective than the ON/DIM alternative.

peter,

I'll get some pics this weekend and post early next week. As for the H4's, I'm using Philips VisionPlus +50s 55W from powerbulbs.com. Very pleased with them. Do share your source for the yellow H3's. Are they true yellow? I'm also using the Philips VisionPlus H3's that put out a yellow light, but not true yellow.

yellow/gold h3's available from daniel stern lighting 416.766.2327
$12.00 each. candlepower made by narva.

i just took out some philips vision plus 50% [powerbulbs] today and installed my hella yellow-star 85/110 watt bulbs.
these are for winter. they are quite yellow but not like the full-tint french yellow

i just purchased one of daniel sterns relays for my h4's.
i think i could power the space shuttle with these!
they are awesome!!

as soon as i can get my mechanic to finish adding the wire and install these, i'm going to install the 90/100 watt narva's and the full tint yellow [french] glass balloons on them.

check out the pic

Apologies for the delay with this. I have included a link to a pic of my euro switch panel setup. I'll follow up with one of the euro lights as well over the weekend.
