Ed:
I purchased these lights thru our local Moss distributor. (but I
haven't seen these advertiseded anywhere before) The company is Economy
Foreign Car Parts (916)342-1821 in CA. They list for $100/set; I got
mine for about $75. They are more expensive than regular halogen
lights, for sure. I figure it's better than having to pay an insurance
deductible! (and the pain and agony of seeing my lbc hurt!!)
