Message	Some use rivets instead of screws. Look closely at the foto on the box and the horns. The real Hellas have their trademark stamped on the black part. They will come in a box, with wiring, a relay (not needed), and instructions. And they will run you a few bucks more. The first pair I ever bought said made in West Germany. I think they are made in India now. "Straight-line acceleration is probably the first aspect of automotive performance that any intelligent driver gets bored with."
