Yes,
They are call "Xenon" lights and work very nicely.  Xenon lamps require a
high voltage (hochspannung!!!) transformer and a special gas filled bulb.
I'm looking at the moment at possible aftermarket conversions, but my parts
man is still breaking down the microfische for me.  I'll let you know what I
find.

Subject: Little blue lights

Hello folks,
        Does anyone know anything about those headlights in BMWs, Opels,
etc., that look blue-white?  Do they really light up the night?  My "82 only
has 2 x 7" round lamps that could use some help.   I have been thinking
about mounting one or two of these in the grill.  Any suggestions?
        Please write me off the list at the address below if you want a copy
of cocacola.exe.

Thanks,
Joe Stefanovich
