I'm still lost about what on earth a "euro light" is. I may just be out fo the "loop" though...Do you mean like those annoyingly bright headlights whose only purpose is to blind other drivers? If so, then No. Please don't get them. :)

I bought the haedlights with the clear blue buulbs from ebay, are you talking about the one they say is like the diamond in the middle?If so they look fine, its just that you have to put them upside down. It says on the headlights "top" I out them on that way and my lights were shining in the trees, So I just flipped them around and they look fine and work fine

...........Or you could just do it right the first time and get the Bosch H4 conversion from PDM Racing. They are super bright without blinding people. However, the 240 sits pretty low and out here in Colorado everyone drives a hill-billy pick up or an SUV so they are too high up to be blinded. I'm the one that gets the shaft from every other person on the road!!

i got them too, and it works better than stock headlight. i used a machine that can check the headlight, and the light from the headlight is spread to the side so you can see the road better. and i didnt turn my head light upside down.

Those H4 conversion stuff from ebay sucks. Had them, didn't like em. Got the Bosch H4 from PDM, love em. The bulbs that come with the ebay stuff, sucks and yeah blew out very quickly. Within two weeks if my memory serves me right. Went and got PIAA's afterwards, but they don't seem to last as long either. Had em for a little less than a year, one of the pair blew out, so now I've got Razo super white bulbs in Bosch H4 enclosures and damn are they sweet. If you've got serious $$$ you might want to look into getting the Raybrig enclosures, I've seen them floating around 150 for a pair (ouch!) but boy would I crap my pants if I had them.

just wondering, what size bulbs fit in those enclosures? I couldn't find any H4 silvania silverstars on ebay. Is there another size? Would 9003's fit?

if you've those h4 conversion enclosures, the 9003's will fit as well. they're just not supposed to be as bright as the h4's but things change and they're pretty bright.

Yeah, if you touch the bulb with your fingertips they will burn out.

well what i did is change the headlight housing and bought H4 mtec bulbs, the mtec bulbs have a lifetime warrantee as long as you dont touch the glass part, all you pay is $6 for the shipping...works great for me and way brighter than stock

i just did the H4 conversion of mind for about 2 weeks now and i have to say i'm very happy with it, it cost me only 35 to my house from ebay, after looking at every freaking thing that was available on ebay i found out that the cheap stuff and the expensive stuff are all the same, so i bought the cheapest possible, if u are thinking about the conversion, it is worth it, the white glow that these lights give off make for clearer visability, and if u want it to be bright, u can use the extra money that u save to buy some nice RAZO H4 that can shine up the yin/yang, not to mention that it will fit your car better if u have clear corners and other hyper white lights, anyone with the conversion tell us about ur experience
