Subject:Re: 86-91 E-Code Lights are back in stock!

E-Code is the term given to European spec. lights.  these are also known as
H4s.

What makes them so good? - They are more efficient in the way they reflect
light.  Low beam and high beam allow you to see better and farther due to
the superior light pattern - the low beams are not as hard on oncoming
traffic as the North Americian spec DOT or 9004 lights.  There is also a
greater variety of bulbs available for H4 as opposed to 9004.
