You can buy headlights most anywhere, why do you want these?

i dont have the V/B lights but i do have something like them ... with the rite bulbs you can go somewhat brighter with the same wattage ... need to re-aim the the lights too. i would check ebay for some other options ... most likely cheaper.

I dont have my v/b mag in front of me but if i remember right its the same style setup they sell on ebay for alot less money. If you want that kind look on ebay and save some money but before you take my on seriously on that make sure its the same kind. If i had my mag with me id compare um but i dont.

Thanks i appreciate it, its in the classifieds a few pages back. I had it for sale a while back but couldnt find the heart to sell it. I love my vert!

Ok sorry bout the hijack hehe.

On a side note i was actually impressed with the quality of my factory headlights compared to those i had on my first gens i used to have. They work really well. I could only imagine what the kind the upgraded kind would do.

Edit: ok ive got my v/b in front of me and these lights hes talking about are euro style lenses( these are the ones im assuming your talking about) and they have the option of a white halogen bulb or a blue tinted one. Id go on the deep end and say the bulb probably does little to nothing other than make it look blue. The clear lense like on new cars probably helps somewhat but im guess its more for looks than functionality.

Now the hella upgrade kit in v/b looks pretty good to me. 50% more light on normal and 25% more on high beam. Thats probably more functional then the euro style. But im not sure which you are talking about.

I don't have a VB catalog so I don't know what they are selling or what the price is but I needed some good lighting to run a night endurance race with my Rx7 racecar. I got a good set of diamond cut sealed beams on ebay buyitnow for $25 including shipping. They come with those junk "blue" bulbs.

I got a good set of 90/130 bulbs from www.rallylights.com for $25 shipped but I would choose 60/55 long life bulbs for the street.

The diamond cut lights have a very nice sharp cutoff on the low beam pattern. I'm very happy with them at a total price about $50.
