Man, do they look cool! I was sorta freaking out about installing them, because last week, people were talking about how they had to get these special wire harnesses for the turn lights(the amber lights)... Not so. I just used the whole amber light with the plug mount from the OME housings, instead of using the new ones that came with the Euro housings. No cutting or anything, i slipped them in at sort of an angle, and the snapped right in, with a twist. The wire harness that came with the Euro housings was alot more complicated. I noticed that there was a fouth small bulb right next to the high beam bulb, and im not quite sure what it was for.. so i just left it alone. What could it be for?
Other than that.. I didn't run into that many problems at all.. The left light was a snap to install, it just took me a few tries to get everything all positioned correctly. It was a minor PITA getting the lower (for lack of a better word) nut-clip lined up with the lower mounting bracket on the housing for the bolt to screw into. The right head lamp was a harder, because my intake was kinda in the way, but after a bit of tinkering, everything went fine. I didn't drop the lower screws once!! But i did manage to drop my tortex socket down in the fender a few times No worries, i got it out. So all in all, swapping OEM housings with Euros isn't hard at all. Everything turned out awesome!! i haven't taken any picts of them installed (cuz its dark out.. but ill take some anyways) but here are a few..

the other bulb is the city light... it takes the job of our parking lights

thanks for the info

don't the euro's have a reflective thingy around the turn signal to where you can see no orange at all?

driving around in a place where you don't want to blind folks, but still want to be seen.

TheCat

nope, all clear inside, only the Bulb is amber if you choose

Then what is different with euro's other than the city lights?

No orange reflector in corner, and better beam pattern

Euro's have a different beam pattern than US spec
