What's the deal with the Euro A8/S8 bi-xenons?
I was browsing ebay.de and came across a set. I know there have been some threads in the past in which people raved about them, but what's the advantage, other than the cool factor? Are they truly plug-and-play for US D2's? $1,700 seems like a lot of dough...<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=010&sspagename=S TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=20006619979 8&rd=1,1">bi-xenon headlights on ebay.de</a></li></ul>

I have the bi-xenon lights and bought them used on German eBay. I was not able to measure an increased output of light with my light meter when compared to US spec xenon. But they do greatly update the look of the D2 I feel.
Be careful buying used lights on eBay...the ones I got had every mounting tab broken and an unobtainable interior adjusting piece broken also. Seller said they were perfect when he shipped, but ofcourse all thae damage is consistant with lights from a car thats been in a collision.
Someday I may get to German... do they sell baseball equipment in Germany or will I have to take my own?

Gawd am I painfullystoopid! D'oh. Nice one Paul.
Hey it was Friday and I was running out the door for some Audi-ocy (of all things).
Apologies. Remember always remember - I have issues.
Orrrrrr it could have been viewed I was simply sealing Edweirdo's fate - you know you're on this Ed, don't deny. Yeah that's it.
No tx on the Prozac Ed, I will however hoist a few tonight to your constant absence everywhere. Toolbox.
Anywayz...
Figured the low output wouldn't change much but gaining XE hi's would be neat - and the look - oh that look - lions and tigers and bears oh my.
ANYwayz...
