Yep! And I think the reflectors are made to look crystal-ly or diamond-ly if you get what I mean. The stock lights' reflectors are just chrome.

OEM look, OEM+ all the way!

Hmm... Hard question this. Undoubtedly they are of inferior quality when compared to the Bosch Euros that I had. I had Hella Euros before Boschs too but for some reason I preferred Bosch over Hellas. They both fitted great. The plastic on the ones that I've got now is noticeably more brittle than the Hellas/Boschs however it's really not quite a problem. The problem though, is that the fitment is not perfect. There is a bigger gap between the top of the headlight and the bonnet. I tried to align them so that they fit better but the pics shows the best I managed to get out of them.
As regards light output, they are great. I have yet to adjust my beam but with 55w conventional white bulbs (I ditched the HIDs due to local regulations), the output is great. I'm not sure about the US but now I just run the car with the bluey white city lights cux that makes the lights look best. IMO, these lights are surely an upgrade in terms of light output to the stock US versions (without disrespect).

Cheers
