My night vision ain't all that great, and if it's raining at night, that's even worse. I'll take all the light I can get. Or, it may just be that you haven't experienced REALLY good headlights, and are satisified with stock 240D lights because you're used to them. Me, I've got two 124's with Euro lights & relays, and another 124 with bone-stock DOT lights, and the difference is huge. I've gotten comments from several passengers about my Euro light setup, at least with the high beams on. Another possibility is that your 240D came with Euro lights from the PO and you just never noticed...? If they're sealed beams, they're not Euros. If you can replace the bulb (probably H4), they are likely Euro, or at least an advanced DOT light. :) +dm > ------------------------------ > Date: Tue, 17 Jan 2006 13:17:00 -0800 (PST) > From: Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: Re: [MBZ] CR report on headlight bulbs > > > Okay, I've been trying to hold back but, what is it about "improved" ligh= ting?
