REFLECTOR: HID landing lights wholesale - one time offer

Sat Mar 19 18:02:37 CST 2005

Richard,

I'll take one also. Landing light beam with one meter cord will work for me
as well. 

I will be sending you a check so let me know timing and specifics for
payment.

Thanks,
Tom

I would like one.  I'll need the one meter cord, landing light beam

Keep me posted.
