Performance lights?


closest thing to "performance" would be LED bulbs since they use less juice and are brighter

"Eurolights" refers to a style of lights - if I remember correctly. Similar to "whale tail" is a rear spoiler.

Can't remember what it looks like though, sorry.

As far as what's available, there's 5 different types of headlights, replacement colored bulbs, euro-spec turn signals, jap-spec FTPs, etc..

Yo,


I thinking he's thinking about headlights.

Here's what I use:

Hella European headlights, Part No. 72206.

RapidParts has 'em:

http://www.rapidparts.com/new/Pages/lights.html

Looks like they're $49.95 each.

Oh yeah, they're for Offroad and Racing use. Lead crystal glass, German made. Good stuff, none of this Ebay "Euro Crystal" garbage, or the new Liberace Gay "Halo" lights.

I use the Piaa Super White 45/55W bulbs in 'em. Good stuff, just take your time when aiming them.

I too have swapped out my closed beam Headlights to open ones from Hella. I didn't find the bulbs to be all that bright In comparision to the stock ones. I do plan, however, to get PIAA's someday. Big $$$ though.
