Would it make any sense to remove and re-torque the delivery valves on the IP?
then to do a cranking with no injection lines attached (ie a spit test?)

hi Tom!
i'd suggest starting with a good set of H4 'euro-code' lamps; truly=20
good quality lights are definitely worth the money, and you'll quickly=20
wonder why you didn't switch to a set of 'real' lights sooner!
i've used a variety of them over the last couple of decades in=20
multiple vehicles, and my preference has been for Cibi=E9 lamps with Osra=
m=20
Bulbs. (i'm using a set of Narva +50 bulbs in our 300D now that are=20
proving to be a close second.)
my issues with the Hellas we've tried are twofold; one is that the=20
high and low beam patterns are typically too far apart, so that if you=20
have the high beams aimed properly down the road, the low beams will not=20
project far enough forward. the second is that the lenses on the Hellas=20
seem to be more brittle; the H4 users in my family have had more Hella=20
lenses break than all others combined.
as for anything labeled Zenon/Xenon, i wouldn't spend *anything* for=20
it. most of what's advertised under the misuse of those terms isn't=20
appropriate, and some is actually detrimental. if you're using true H4=20
sealed bulb lamps, you have your choice of bulbs in a variety of Wattage=20
combinations already if you decide you need more than the typical=20
55/60W. (most people quickly find out that with proper lamps, they don't=20
need extra wattage like they thought they might.)
try what's been working for most of the rest of the world where they=20
weren't subject to the arcane absurdities of DOT lighting regulations=20
first, then see if you need to do anything else. ;-)
this can can be a lot of help:
