Once you get these properly aimed (where you only rarely notice the cutoff, which you'll understand once you get them), you will never want to go back to old-fashioned sealed beams. Legally, these are sold for motorcycles or off-road, but you will be the only one who notices the change. I got mine from Rusty for under a hundred bucks for the full set. Worth every penny.

I don't want to go to the expense of those new blue headlights, but somewhere there was a suggestion made that a relatively inexpensive upgrade could be made that would improve the headlights on the W123 series cars. Does anyone remember this, or have any suggestion? Any help is greatly appreciated, TIA, and please reply to rfdillon-at-hal-pc.org. Thanks and have a GREAT day, Richard F.
