No, I'm not sure of that but I didn't have the impression that the parts man
was doing anything but looking up the numbers I gave him.

I wasn't surprised at the quote - I often get very reasonable pricing from
the dealer here.

That is good info to know about the connectors, boots and such but I don't
understand the parking bulb holder. That is a separate bulb holder and
connector for a Euro parking light? Does the housing have a separate hole
for said holder?
