us conection
So I was driving in the rain last night. Let me tell you my headlights dont shine for jack. I already spent 50$ on headlight bulbs. They work really in pitch black area's. They dont do anything in the rain.
Im thinking about just new headlights. I hear the us spec plastic really hold light back. So i turn to ebay.

There are a few companies that seem to have the same thing. Most of them say you might need connectors to convert euro to us? What are these connectors? where can i get them? how much are they? am I going to have any problems once I put them in?
Anyinformation should be great!

Are you going to really order those, I would get some from Katmac, or some Bosch ones.
Here's a good install video for putting in your headlights.

I need new headlights that produce more light then the piece of crap ones I have now. Those are cheap. They may not be great looking but I dont think there ugly. How much are the katmac ones?

Wow... Sometimes I just dont think. lol
Thats more money then I want to spend on this car. Idrive it 40k miles a year. This is more of "I need to see at night" upgrade, then a spend the extra money to make it look good "mod" So im sticking with the cheaper ones. Im thinking of getting a c230k 2000. When I get that car, ill be more willing to spend the extra money. Altho I do really like the projectors they make for that car.
