Euro headlight info
I ordered a box of 75 items from England and I should be getting a set of euro headlights. What will I need to do in order to install them? What kind of difference will this swap bring about?

Hey James!
Be careful of Euro-spec headlights from a UK car...
They drive on the other side of the road over there and there are some who believe that the focal-points of the lights are directed in the wrong way for a European or a US car where we travel on the other side of the road - sometimes...
Should be verified - I would be curious to see how they act installed myself....

...to Alfa, or not to Alfa? That is the question...
Oh yeah...
I hadn't thought about those guys driving on the wrong side. I would be public enemy #1 if I ran those things. Bummer.
Thanks for the help, everybody. I think I can still get my money back as I dont believe they have been sent out yet.
Now, does anyone know if the left hand drive Euro lights are a good upgrade? Is the difference that great? Can the bulbs be had easily?
thanks again,
James

Personally, I have had bad luck with the adjusting screws and plan to use BMW headlight set-up ( had a thread on this earlier) BMW's have just a slightly deeper offset but much easier to exchange bulb and adjust.(see other pic). You will have to trim up your grill to get them to fit as well as weld up a mounting bracket.
