The more I researched, more confuse I got...:confused:

I had this pair, but I sold it.
Can anyone confirm if this pair HAS the proper lens pattern for LHD cars here in North America.

Nice!

Did you replace the reflector with one from NAM headlights?

Also just purchased a pair of these for the city lights.
Saw those on ebay and debated on getting them.
How does the light output compare to the standard filament ones?

" This mod is ONLY for euro Bosch headlights "

NOTE: some pics shown are quick photoshop pics from/of the finished product.
You'll need a dremel with steel cutting blade & long nose pliers.

pic1 - make template of the chrome reflector.
pic2 - template of chrome reflector.

pic3 - use dremel & cut/remove the "4" tabs indicated by red arrows.

pic4 - 4 tabs removed, all you see is the lip around the reflector.

pic5 - center smaller yellow reflector over template.
- use marker, mark the "6" cut lines on the lip.
- black out the "2" notch areas to be removed later.

pic6 - "6" cut line shown, use dremel to cut.

pic7 - use long nose pliers, bend the "2" blacked out pieces of the lip down flat & use dremel to cut/remove completely.
- than use long nose pliers, bend down flat the "4" white pieces of the lip.

pic8 - final result. touch up with paint to prevent future rusting.
- repeat process for the other end.

pic9 - overlay on template to verify.

pic10 - installed in headlights.

Finally decided to install my euro headlights, 6 months later. :D

Headlight vacuum level adjust installed. City lights connected to ignition, may add relay later that turns it off when headlights come on.

Those are alot brighter than the 4W ones!

Where did you buy them from?

Pulled up to a store front, wife comments that my headlights are too yellowish (reflected from the store front's glass). :eek:
Told her those are my DRLs, turned on the headlights to show her that headlights are pretty white, she agrees....BUT I also noticed the yellowish DRLs are showing also. So added a relay to turn DRLs off when headlights are on. :thumbsup:

Also, finally hooked up the light for the vacuum headlight level adjust. :thumbsup:
