i attempted it, but i had to remove them. basically from what i
had put together, the lenses on scirocco's (euro lights) are
fluted. all those vertical lines going up and down the glass
are there to aim the H4 beam. when you install HID's the light
power overpowers those lines and it basically not possible
to aim.

they we're all over the place, and i knew i would of gotten
hassled by the fuzz eventually. the only way that i think it might
work is if you make new lenses that are clear.
