Re: <E30> Ellipsoid Conversion

[John Coffin <jcoffin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I converted my E30 318i since I received the ellipsoid lights free for
converting a 325 to H4 (much better than ellipsoid ).  I just cut the light
connectors and soldered the new conenctor and rewired the existing relay so
the low and high can be on together.  I'll pull the relay tonight and send
you a picture.  It just requires one wire soldered to two of the relay lugs.
