A lot of guys I know have purchased Depo lights, and I thought the quality was great. I was at Ashman's house when he installed his, and I compared them to my OEM Bosch euro headlights, and it was hard to tell the difference. There were very solid, and the fitment was great.

If it was my choice, I would still buy the OEM Bosch or Hella lights, but if I wanted to save a few bucks, I guess I would recommend the DEPO's.

In any event, you neeeeeed to get euro's. They not only look better, but put out about 400% more and better light. To me, it is a safety issue.

Paul, were you at Ashman's "euro install" party a few years go? Is that where you saw the lights?

I am leaning towards the Bosch. The price is right with my 15% discount. I think that I will also chuck the wipers, they look kind of silly anyway. I am, however, going to try to do the vacuum install as outlined on Stu ritter's manual.

BTW, the wood and leather steering wheel is on backorder. It won't be in until late April. Gad I hate waiting.

I'll post pics of the euro lights as well as pics of the new steering wheel (when I get it).
