[s-cars] Re: USA vs Euro Headlights for HID Application

Hello all,

Have a question or two for all you lighting experts.  I have an 95.5 S6 with
the standard USA lights.  It appears that the upgrade path I see from the
postings is to go to euro lights (H1s) and then to add HIDs.  How about just
adding HIDs to USA lights.  The cutoff on my driver's side headlight appears
to be rather dramatic.  Are euro light reflectors that much better?  Can't I
just adjust mine to be reasonably close to those? Heat shouldn't be a factor;
don't HIDs run cooler than H1s?  I recall when I put H1s on my old 911 they
ran so hot I was able to cook the bugs before they hit the glass.  Help?

Thanks all
