For some reason I haven't received your email but the answer is 'Yes' to both those questions. (If you have any other questions, perhaps you could send me a pm)

OK. I'm checking out some of your other items like your mirrorcool surrounds before ordering.

The code on the backside of the mirror has this stamped on it (both mirrors) and the plastic surrounding is gray and about to fall apart especially on the passenger side.

E2 in a circle and 00275, gray plastic. Does that indicate what mirror I have?

Mirror cool really works well, and are "easy " to fit. The first one takes a while, the second is a doddle.

Thanks Richard. I'm away for a few days (working on an H-van and visiting friends in Yorkshire), so can't send anything out until I get back on Wednesday or Thursday, I'm afraid.

turbofiat124: Although we have exchanged PMS over the last few days, the reply (about identifying your mirrors) that I have tried to send you twice this afternoon won't leave my outbox. It says they're sent but they're not gone!, so I don't know if you've got them. Basically the answer to your question is "No" but I did give a more detailed reply to help with identification so, if you still need that, perhaps you could send me your email address (by pm) and I'll send you my full reply. Thanks.

Hey I placed the order for the bulbs and the mirror kit and mentioned about the other bits we talked about. I already paid for the bulbs and mirror kit and shipping so send me a Paypal invoice for the other stuff and any adjustment costs for shipping. Just whenever, I work 12 hour shift work so I know how it is. Thanks.

As mentioned I installed the 55/65 watt bulbs from Chevrons2 and love them! Much better lighting and the wiring going to the switch shows no signs of heat. Highly recommended! Keep in mind any of you guys might be able to buy these bulbs at Halfords but I can't find them over here after 50+ years of DOT required seal beam headlights. I decided not to the use the yellow covers. By the way, why did France use yellow headlight bulbs for so many years? I was told (by a Brit) it was a leftover requirement from WW II. Something about making it harder for the Nazis to see activity on the ground from airplanes. Then by the 1990s they they figured a German invasion was unlikely and started using clear bulbs. I've always wondered why German cockroaches are called "German" when they are from Africa. Is it because they invade your home like the Germans did France and Poland during WWII? Also swapped the main and dipped wires at the switch so the stalk toggles between main and dipped opposite and matches my Subaru. I still have not had a chance to install my mirror surround kit yet.
