Oddly enough, I have purchased 2 sets of euro healights (typ44) from Germany
where the buyer was also interested in purchasing a US-spec set of
headlights for their car!
The statement was something like:
"It seems you are working on an Audi 5000 and are buying these headlights
because your headlights are too dark. I have long desired an original 5000
front end from America, can we make a deal?"
Pretty crazy...
