The night driving from Quebec to Boston with the old standard headlights is like the old stagecoaches in the west... Can't see much ahead of you .... I purchased a pair of Sylvania Silverstar, Halogen sealed bulb three prong, slipped right in no modification needed for my 1981 300 TD. The Silverstars are major improvement...like a lighthouse illuminating the road, seeing far ahead is no problem, like it's almost driving in daylight. Using them for almost two years now ..... http://www.sylvaniaautocatalog.com/sylvania/ProductBrowse_Highp_SilverStar.asp?BepartNo=&BatchIdp&ProductNumber=H6024%20ST&PartNo=%20ST,%20%20ST Bill 1981 300 TD Craig McCluskey wrote: > On Tue, 19 Dec 2006 18:57:02 -0500 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> Do allot of 1:00AM in the morning driving schlepping all over the >> Northeast with work.
