Exclamation Hella E-Codes

Folks,
I was searching for a pair of E-Code headlamps for the 300D.....found "Susquehanna Motorsports" via a search on Amazon. I actually phoned them to see if their price was for a pair and not an individual light.

I ordered a set of Hella Lamps with 85/80W Osram Hyper H-4 bulbs, a pair of relays, connectors, and a fuse block for about $130.00 including shipping. The guy that I spoke to had a 300D and knew exactly what was necessary, they also sell an "in house" "Plug & Play" harness for $80.00 and he talked me out of that. Because their harness isn't vehicle "specific", and would not make as neat of an installation as a talented DIYer can do.

They also have the best description of E-Codes that I have seen.....

And "Bulbs 101 - Bulb FAQ"

These folks sell just about any kind of light that you could want on your vehicle, and then some.....and although I have not priced any driving or fog lights, if their pricing runs as it does for the 7" round headlamp upgrades....then these folks should be a good find for us folks here.
