I don't think so.   the euro pattern's sharp cutoff doesn't illuminate a lot
of signs, especially in the city where the signs are right at the curb and
about 6 or 7 feet high--unless you've misadjusted your lights (or are
hauling around a trunkload of kitty litter)

Audi's US-spec lights ARE that bad.  hop across the pond some day...you'll see!
