Subject:FW: Light Bulb Replacements and Relay Kits
From:robertmstewart

Hi All, 

Was looking to purchase the headlight relay  kit from Volkscafe.com and
found out they do not have a discount for Vanagon.com list serv members just
an FYI.

I was looking to purchase the relay kit and new bulb replacements, they sell
these $84 PIAA bulbs that they claim are much better (birghter at the same
wattage) than the standard high wattage 80/100 watt bulbs.

What are peoples experience with these bulbs, are they worth it for
driving/bright�s? 

What are other good replacement bulbs at the 80/100 wattage?

What�s the difference with between the $85 dollar bulbs and the $25 dollar
bulbs I see?

What are the Xennon lights?

If I want to add the newer relay kit with high wattage bulbs can I also add
a set of Hella XL�s without problem on the fuse�s and electrical system?

Is the VolksCafe relay kit better than Busdepot or any other companies? Your
feedback?

Thanks,
Robert

Thank you for the inquiry, but I have just one price which I try to keep as
low as possible while still making a fair profit.  I have this past month
updated the pricing on the whole site with many more prices being lowered
than raised.  These PIAA bulbs are expensive because they put out brighter
light while drawing the same current that the stock light draw.  Although
the PIAA lights are the top of the line, the other lights will work when you
have the relay kit.  If you would like I can sell you the $25 pair as well
(80/100 watt) .  You can also get a set of the high beams (100 watt) for $25
as well.  If interested then place your normal shopping cart order and then
send an email asking me to add these.
Thanks Again,
 
Peter
