HELP! Has anyone put ecode's on their '94-'97 850? long... 850

posted by  someone claiming to be mdj850 on  Tue Dec 6 10:14 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I need to replace a couple of lenses on my 1997 850 as they are sandblasted/opaque. I put ecode's on my Saab 9-5, and have been VERY happy with the improved lighting pattern. The only difference betweeen ecodes & dot in the saab is the lense.

I've been told by a reputable source that even though the lense w/exchange, the reflectors in the lamp housing are different for oem-dot and ecode lights on the 4 lamp 850 models, and the result w/not be the same as the euro ecode.

I'm wondering if anyone who's made the swap to ecodes can share any "real" data on the difference, and if they would do it again. I have to put something new on either way, but would rather not buy ecodes then dot.

thanks for your time...
