After seeing some of the blistering/heat issues, I've got a few questions
concerning euro lights.  I just bought a set of urS4 euro lights (ebay.de)
and received them Saturday from Switzerland.  I bought them knowing that
every mount tab was broken off of both lights.  After consulting the list, I
figured I was good to go utilizing my good US housings, along with all of the
guts (reflector, wiring and lenses) from the euro lights.

For those using euro lights... what wattage's are you using in these lights?
Are there heat related damage issues with these?  Is low beam output
improved?  Any other info/observations appreciated.  I've been happy with the
stock US high beams, but particularly annoyed with the poor lows.

I do realize that to use higher wattage bulbs, I'm going to need to wire them
up using relays.  But I'd like to know up front if all this is worth the
effort.  My only experience is on the 200s and urq's, and for these cars it
is more than worth the time/effort.  What about the urS4?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
