This one's especially for Paul, seeing as he mentioned it when he was over here...

Notice the headlights on the silver car in the foreground, Paul;

BTW, the shot's from a meeting of our pommy brothers.

Thats pretty sweet, but you shouldn't post that pic without some more info behind the head lights!

Also I have to have a login to go to that site.

All those cars look very hot.

Sorry, don't have any info. Just saw the pic and thought I'd show it. I reckon it'd be a cool mod but you'd have to contact the blokes direct to find out about it I 'spose...

I rewired my lights so I can drive with my driving lights on and keep my headlights from coming up. Having the bucketlights come up just to have the driving lights on was bugging me.

The euro bumpers are great with the driving lights.
Notice we also don't have the side markers either.
I reckon it looks better.
Bumpers don't have the shocks in them either and are bolt on.

Thanks for that, Khal.

Now we just have to figure out how to find more info. I wonder it they are fixed or able to be retracted.

yeah, that's what they have in europe, I bet they really envy are safety bumpers though

I do like the projector headlights though, maybe they would be brighter than mine, (Although I think it's because they are out of alignment.)

This may sound funny to the US guys, but I actually prefer the US bumpers to the Euro bumpers. I think they look great. I want some...

Neil, that's interesting. I'd like to be able to have the driving lights on without the main lights coming up too.. How did you wire them?

Well, Haynes isn't much help..they don't even show the additional headlights. All I know is that they run off Fuse 5, but they must be triggered by the headlamp relay or maybe the lifting/retracting relay.

Gram - I think they get power from the light relay as mine only come on with high beam.
