European headlight question for 4kq

yes and no.  the lights & bracket are a lot different.  the four screw
holes in the body are in the same place.

there is, however, a bracket that is specific to the eurolights, that
can be fudged around because it is similar to the lower 85-on US
bracket, it just has an arm thing that goes up and holds the fourth
screw... or somethng like that.  Maybe Marc has a picture of his on his
website, I don't know.

and I second the motion to install relays.
