I just took our 90 Pop Top Multi Van up skiing the other day. Six people and all of our gear. It was a little slow on the steep parts, but not painfully so. Anyway the lighting is so pathetic that I may end up doing something sooner rather than later. Between the South African set up and the European set up which puts out more light? I am under the impression that they are both similar in cost. About $300 for the South African and about $350 for the European set up? Do they both use easily replaceable
over the counter H4 bulbs? I like the looks of the South African grill a little better and it would save me some cash. I am leaning a little bit that way. We live in a small town east of Portland OR and a lot of our driving is on unlit freeways. When I turn the highbeams off it is almost like turning the lights off. It is not that bad in the city or town, but on the way to the mountain or cruising down highway 84 into Portland it is just flat dangerous. Especially in driving snow or dense fog where using
the brights makes it really hard to see.
thanks again for all the help,
