Love it!

I'd drive the Trabant at night because of better light output. troll.png

That’s awesome man! Love seeing the gm SUVs with European license plates! I think that style looks so much better than the US plate style! Sweet Denali!

;-) .... The light of the Trabant isn't that much better. And the light output of every US car I owned was a joke. Remember, on our highways we can drive as fast we want or can. And when you go 100 miles or more at night it'd be dangerous with that light.
The Trabant from 1953 goes almost 60 m/h. For this speed the light is ok.
But my Yukon runs about 110 m/h and with the candlelights you see nothing .... ;-)
Anyway, that's why I changed the beamers yesterday and they work fine.

Which would you drive to the Ministerium für Staatssicherheit? Could go either way! They both look in great shape!

The Staatssicherheit used to use mostly cars from the Soviet Union called Wolga. The Trabant was much too small even for the communists ... ;-)

I like the new headlights, where did you get them?

Hi Dan, I bought them in Germany in a little Shop for US Car Parts. Got them for about 400 Euros. The design is very similar to the original headlights but they have a black background. That looks imho much better and light output is as good as the original.
