Dan,
On the V8 lights, you don't really need the plugs, IMHO.  The six male ends
fit perfectly into a 'standard' female bullet connector available anywhere.
Very easy to plug/wire into the existing harness or an upgraded relayed
harness for hi output bulbs.  The V8 Kostal connector would have to be
rewired anyway in the case of higher output bulbs as the 18-20 gauge wire
it comes with would not really be up to the task and would impede the
current flow from large gauge wire from the aftermarket harness.  To
Davids' point about new vs used, I have had both new and used Euros for typ
44's and can't say the difference was really noticeable in the real world
vs on a headlight aiming surface. (especially factoring in the 100% price
difference.  Just make sure your reflectors are clean and so is your glass.
On 200's I've had I can honestly say one euro lamp with stock bulbs is
twice as good as 2 stock US lamps, BTDT.  I can only compared used to used
on the V8's,  The improvement is not quite as great, but with upgraded
bulbs still a big difference.

Where do you guys get the Euro headlight plugs from? Do the stock terminals
just come out of the plug and swap over to the Euro plug?
