I've got both of those bookmarked, if I can solve my water leak on The White Whale, I'll treat her to a new set of lenses. I bought these Bosch euro lights form Rusty just before he left the business, I think it was around $300 for the set which included new turn signal lenses as well. Two big rock strikes later, the driver's side lens has two holes covered with tape (keeping the water and dirt out) and looks pretty ratty. ------------- Max Charleston SC
