Hate to tell you this, but before I got euro lenses, I downgraded to the 
non- turbo lenses. They kicked butt with 90watt Pia bulbs. In fact, they put 
more light on the road than my euro lenses do. So if you need light and 
don't mind that 80's Volvo look, problem solved. Oh yes, you will need the 
grill parts too.

My 2c,

Doc
