Default Euro Driving Lights - 951

Anyone know where they can be found? Europroducts used to have them but I can't find their website anywhere.

I got mine from GPR. Then when a rock broke one of them, I got the replacement from Paragon Products.

I just bought some from Performance Products- they had a 20% off sale, so I jumped on it.. I think they're ~$300/pr normally.

I got mine from the Ebay auctions, had one busted and after I had several people try to bid up on me when they could have bid on a set with no bids, I called the company and they sold me a pair for what my high bid had been (was very nice of them since I had a broken one and was driving around with it covered in plastic and not using my fogs at all). I got the kit from Paragon for wiring them up, I wasn't happy with the electrical connectors in it so I got some vampires instead. They may have changed over to those as I mentioned it to them, don't know though...

And yes....I put the film over mine as well from a company that offers up to $1000 if your light gets cracked with their film over it.

I have a piece left big enough to put over those lights for $10 NIB if anyone wants it.

Yep....they are Euros. I had a rock destroy one of my stock ones and as crappy and road rashed as the other one was and at the cost that the regular ones are, I decided to go with the Euros instead and got a good deal from the company that is selling them on Ebay all the time with the low starting price.

The plastic kit ready to go on is like $20+ shipping. A sheet of it was like $15? plus shipping. I'll see if I can find their website when I get home...don't think I have the URL at work here.

Cool- I have cracked fogs- that's why I just bought the Euros to replace them, since they were hardly any more- especially nice when I got them for 20% off at PP- got floor mats, Escort Solo S2, & several other misc things at that time too... I got the wiring from Dan, so, hopefully will get them on soon...

It's www.xpel.com is where I ordered mine from. I remembered correctly, the sheet stuff for headlights is $15 for a single 1ft square sheet, which is enough to do both fogs and both turn signals if you are halfway decent cutting a straight line.

$21.95 for the kit pre-cut for a 951/S2 with holes cut in it for the screws on the turn signals.

I wonder if this film is the same stuff they have in the UK. I remember reading an article where theft is a problem in certain areas. This film is applied to the window and it's guaranteed to hold the window together when smashed. It's supposedly so strong that even with smashing it, they can't break through the window to get in.

This stuff is supposed to stop 1 oz rocks at 120mph from damaging your lights at all.....however as thick as it is, you'd have to have something done if you wanted to roll down your window with this stuff on it.... Perhaps something similar that is a bit thinner though.

Oh, my friend said the car ran well with the new chips, but he's had some family illnesses since then and I haven't gotten to sit down with him and go over what's going on....however he's now looking for the bigger fuel cell....he's definitely not running lean anymore!!!! He's getting there though...we'll have him doing well before long.
