That was John Heidemann. He described this on AD a little ago. I don't have
the digests handy, but will dig up his post if John Hertzmann doesn't beat
me to it.
George, I didn't realized you were in Brisbane. Give Headlight and Bumper at
Moorooka (3892 7855) a call, and see what they can do for you.  Disclaimer:
I haven't used them, but they quoted me ~AUD50 to dissemble the two
fog-lights on my 90, resilver the reflectors, clean up the glass and
reassemble.

Hi George, John, and Tony

Sorry - I've been behind with digests and skimming to catch up and must have
missed your post.  My lights were done by Avanti at Albion and I was
extremely happy with the results.  The replacements were Cibie inserts
placed in the stock mountings.

  I just hope that she forgives me my lack of attention as my baby has been
sitting under the house for the last 7 weeks while I've been working in
Sydney.  I must reconnect the battery and take her for a run when I get to
spend some extended time at home in October.  Happy to talk about the lights
if you like.
