Just ordered a set of the Hella XL's from a place in PA called
Susquehanna(sp) Motor Parts on sale for $95 and the sale lasts until about
Xmas.  Will report on them after installation.  Will try to wire my factory
low beams as DRL's and have the Hellas be switchable.  Clear stone guards
are an extra $24 and probably worth it.
