    headlight and paint code question

    Hi All,

    I've just got my new badgeless grille + cross hairs arrived from the states - looking good but need to get some bulbs for them now (going from original 4 lamps to 2) anyone recommend the best / cheapest bulbs in Melbourne? I was just gonna head down to autobarn etc

    also I've got my eyebrow spoiler primed - it the MK1 93 white cabriolet's paint code L90E ?

    Cheers

    Gary

    the trouble i had when i went to autobarn to grab a touch up paint can for my white cabby, was that there was two L90E listings! for different whites.

    I can't recall which one i went with, but it came out nice on the rear bumper but not so nice on the front. A proper paint shop would have a better idea which is which though (or if they're that different at all)

    Hey, I also went from 4 to 2 lights grille with new clear headlights on the cabriolet. I didnt change the bulbs or anything, and i cant say i can tell much difference between 4 lights high beam or just 2. maybe try out the current bulbs on high beam by themselves for a while and then buy brighter bulbs if you think they're not bright enough.
