My new HIDs are installed and working.  Mark must be a better mechanic than 
I am.  It took me a while but all is working.  The LF light is a Royal PITA 
to get in.

Results - subjectively judged.  Upper beam cutoff remains sharply defined 
as it was with the stock bulbs.  Little difference there.

HIDs vs stock:  Major improvement.  Running stock low beams alone vs stock 
low beams plus fog lights gives considerable improvement in the amount of 
light on the road.  Running the fogs with the HIDs is of little benefit 
except at quite wide peripheral angles.

HIDs vs Euros:  Closer but possibly some better.  This is very subjective 
since the HIDs went into the car without the Euros.  The Euro pattern is 
better but the OEM lenses, etc, with HIDs is pretty good.

The difference between stock and Euros is certainly larger than the 
difference between Euros and HIDs in otherwise stock lights.

I'd like to see the difference between 100 watt H1 Euros and these HID kits 
in Eurolights.

Oh - wiring the power connector.  Do it such that white connects with white 
and black connects with brown.
