ok i agree with you all i just have another point to make and it will be my
last
as far as the euro lights for the 4k, i'm talking about the h4-h1 combo
lights
there are typ 81 that have the glass flat | corresponds to 1984 and prior
then there are the typ 85 that have the glass stanted / corresponds to
1985-1987
the flatness and slantness also corresponds to the different grilles
and also their shape
type 81 is slats all the way accross, if you remove rings its only stlats
type 85 has slats and rings outline, if you remove rings there will still be
the outline
that is how i saw the differences before.
so take it as you may
