200 v. S6 headlights

[Fred Munro]

Hi Kent;

If it's a '94, its a S4, not a S6. The S6 got body colour mouldings, chrome
rings around the instruments, lost the mechanical rear diff lock in '96,
various other cosmetic "improvements". Personally, I prefer the UrS4 over
the UrS6. The S4 has the (IMHO) nicer "bright" pearl white - the S6 got the
"yellow" pearl white.
As for lights, the 200 series Euros are excellent - I had them on my '91
200q. The DOT UrS4/S6 lights will not match them. The Euro UrS4/S6 lights
use H1 high & low beam bulbs - if you upgrade the high beams to 100w bulbs,
the S4 Euros will match the performance of the 200 series Euros.
I upgraded my UrS4 Euros to HID low beams and 100w high beams - these lights
are now better than the 200 series Euros IMO.
