[RE: Euro Light question]

[vince@performancecarstereo.com (Vince Royer)]

I think it's all in the light pattern.  The us-look ones don't have the
sharp cutoff, which is the best thing about the euros.  The euros simply aim
the light better, instead of wasting it into useless space.

I switched from the quad h1/h4s to the euro lights and I can defenately tell

there's just no comparison.

I won't dispute that, and I've often wondered if at least part of the
equation
is that most people go to a new harness for the Euros, thereby eliminating
any
bad connections, whereas the quad replacements are often just popped into
the
old holes/plugs. My headlight electrons are free too, you see. But I like
the
looks of the quads on mine, so for me, the H1/H4 was both a safety and a
cosmetic decision. I was overdriving the stock ones far too often. But
opinion
always has had the true Euros being superior, and the look is much more
modern.
