[V8] euro light install WOW!

[LL - NY]

I find the OEM UrS lamps to be pretty adequate, especially with the
9012/9011 HIR upgrade bulbs. I have yet to fit my HID retro-fit, and the
only real fault I find with the DOT UrS projectors is the stupid US cut-off,
it's still possible to have the bodies of deer to be above the cut-off, and
deer legs don't reflect so much.

That being said, the UrS lamps with the HIR bulbs is superior to my
(admitedly aged by the time I could make the comparison) former 200 Euro's,
even with 55/80 low/100 highs. And suprisingly, my 10 yr newer, pure
reflective optics DOT Saab 9-2X lamps, with H1 high eff + lows/9011 highs
are noticably better (I think it's the softer cut-off) than the UrS DOT's.

Actually, my best Euros were still either the 7" HiLo H4 55/80 rounds/100
pencil beams on my former A2 GTi or the H4/H1 5 3/4" quad rounds on my old
Saab 99. Those handily rival the best that I have today (although my vision
isn't what it used to be, sad to say).
