big eurolights = reduced airflow over rad?
Car seems to be running hotter than I remember before (above 90 during town driving), I put eurolights in this winter and wonder if because they are so much bigger if they are Interfering/reducing airflow to the rad....any thoughts on this?

Re: big eurolights = reduced airflow over rad?
I put the Euro lights on and didnt have a problem or change.
Driving faster/more acceleration(drop in gas milage), and lots of stops drives the heat up on my car, but i have to be really pushing it and for a decent amount of time. You might have done something recently that increased performance a bit/fuel flow and that could increase the heat(notice a drop in gas milage after a job?). Could be low coolant/oil, have you checked that recently? If not do so.
Other than that, i see no reason for the euro headlights to change the flow over the car, ive used em for 2 years summer/winter and have seen no change.
