DO NOT do this in the US 200q20v headlights!  They're 80's DOT-spec
lights, designed to throw a lot of light up above the road for
non-reflective signs and the like...not 90's era, projector beams with
a beam cutoff and enclosed bulb.  You will blind and piss off every
single person that comes at you from the other direction at night.

Even installing HIDs into the eurolights would not be a great idea.
HID lights put out light from different areas of the bulb, so non-HID
reflectors aren't set up for them.
