Ever drive a mid-80s Audi at night? I have, many times. It’s downright frightening with the U.S.spec lights. With barely enough candlepower to light up the entire lens, I’m not sure how the DOT thought those lights were “safer” but I find driving at night much safer when I can see. Drive an older 5000 or 4000 in a light rain at night and you’ll know what I mean; it’s definitely a case of guessing where the lanes are. A popular upgrade on both models is to swap in European market headlights, such as these today on Ebay:

While the single H4 Hellas aren’t as sexy looking as the H1/H4 twin units, they do provide a substantial upgrade in headlight power. Just make sure to wire them properly with relays, as otherwise you’ll find yourself melting your headlight switch in a hurry. At $175, these sure seem like a great deal!
