Switching to Euro Spec Headlights

Hi guys,

I just had some work done to my car and one of the very few things that's currently bothering me is the orange markers in my headlights. They're hideous. I much prefer the cleaner Euro (rest of the world) look. The orange sticks too much now that my car is white.

I've been thinking about buying a Euro Set of headlights on ebay then sell my current ones to offset the cost.

Is it an easy install? Will it throw any kind of errors?

Thank you.

I would save your money and avoid the codes, get a vinyl opaque wrap to cover the Orange. I did this on my Audi S4 and no one was the wiser. Looked great, and my car was dark grey. Matched the paint exactly....
