Eurolight Identification and source

[Ben Swann]

I checked another set of lights not yet installed, and they have some blue with silver
tip named “EagleEye” and marked H4 100/90

 

Are these any good?  I will check them for myself, but like to get an opinion.

 

Are these bulbs classified as just H4 or combination H4/H1?  Anyone know or care to
spell out the difference.  I have to admit, this is one area I’m pretty ignorant on.  I
know how to hook ‘em up, but really don’t know the difference.

The low beam on a set of 200 Euros (should have a Circle E somewhere on the lens) should
be an H4. For a 90/100W bulb, I'd try www.danielsternlighting.com or www.powerbulbs.com
or www.rallylights.com . I forgot what the high beam is, but I'd venture a guess (if it
has a single prong on the back, not a lead with a prong) that it's an H1. Been too long
since I had the 200.

As I need to replace several bulbs that have burned out in a couple 200Qs with
Eurolights, I am trying to identify a proper replacement and source for them.  The bulb
I removed had the low beam portion burned out.  It is a three prong halogen bulb and
markings on it are:

12V (of course)  100/90W U  HD  not for use in Europe

There is no manufacturer identification on this bulb.

I have been happy with this bulb, and don't know what is in the other lights, but they
all have the same three prong configuration.  All the E-lights I have are relayed and so
can handle the wattage and since they turn night into day, probably don't need more, but
open to suggestions.  Mainly is this an off the shelf item, or something I should order.
To tell the truth, I don't pretend to know anything about the different bulbs, so open
to comments and suggestions on the best replacement.  Quality is good, but don't ant to
pay too much either.

The lights are similar if not the same as the ones shown In this thread:
