I have a couple friends that do over the top restorations and would pay what ever to get the correct date coded lamps. I have always been a watchdog here at FBAO for people selling at over the top prices. If I see NOS I look for factory part numbers and packaging. If it doesn't include those, they are just good used parts.

People can go nuts over lights and lamps just like anything else that is no longer made.
I'll admit, I've got these on the shelf because I thought I might be doing a fair amount of back woods night driving. They're staying on the shelf 'til needed! I got lucky finding them on epay. Did I overpay? Answer to that is very subjective. Totally worth it to me - except it turned out I haven't had to use them.

Bogus email wouldnt be bad, but IP's can be traced... not necessarily illegal, rather than one of those stories about excessive spending on the tax payers dime.. $2400 bill, company credit card denied, this was from what I heard 4 nights in a hotel.. That is $600 per day... WTF are you spending that money on???

How about a good old fashioned anonymous printed letter to the Inspector General (or whomever has financial oversight responsibility) sent from a different zip code than yours?

Had those same lights in my '79 Yota 4x4 :thumbsup: I pulled them out of my race Baja Bug when I sold it and put them in the truck. They weren't Ca legal back then, only got stopped for them once and that was in the daylight :BangHead:. They do work very well.
 
So the wife was able to get some food back into her daily diet. She can now have 1 alcoholic beverage per day (with the exception of beer) fruit and rice. Soooo, looks like I could start having a beer again. However, I also had a doctors apt today and it appears I've lost 10lbs in the last month, and I feel my pants fit differently. Im not sure I want to go back to drinking beer, except my fridge is completely full of it!
