-thanks guys..
so basically.... the euros and 94-95 specs look the same cosmetically.. but the euros have a different "brighter" light pattern, correct?

Oui! That eeez correct, monsieur!!
Oh and a quick edit to those that want the lights I do not use:
I forgot about my brokerage fees from UPS so here is the cost breakdown:
$190 for the lights
$70 for insured shipping
$40 for UPS brokerage fees and taxes (I paid COD on my end)
Total was $300 USD and I will therefore let them go for $240 shipped.
Okie dokie, smokie?

Hey Zorro, how is the quality of those new lights? Will they take the heat from my 75W low-beams? I'm assuming they have plastic lenses...

I find the extra wattage useful at warp speed to spot deer on the way to Revelstoke.I got a set of 100W bulbs if you really want to try the light-sabre look

Mark, did the headlights come with projector bulbs? I am thinking about getting some to put on mine instead of the Euros. I would prefer a sharp cutoff that comes along with projector/HID setups.

If you decide to run with hid's you should probably get a set to match your fog lights as well, what application are they H3??

My dad bought the chrome version of the projectors and I put in some OEM philips 85122+ 4300k d2s hids in them. To do that, I used a h7 to d2s adapter on the bulbs. However, the beam pattern is all over the place. Pretty bad! It could be the fact that these projectors don't take too well to d2s unlike most of the other h7 halogen projectors.
To fix this, I bought a pair of tsx projectors (they have the same lens diameter of 2.5") and will get my workshop to retrofit them. Hopefully they will fit. Will also need to do a custom shield as the projectors are LHD. I need RHD since i stay in Singapore.

Thanks. Haha. It's definitely bright but most of the useful light is on the right side which means that the full potential of hid is not being utilised.
This is the cutoff of tsx projectors. This is what I wanna achieve.
