Hi Mike,

Oh, yeah! Go for it.

I've installed it on my car the SAME day I've aquired the euro lights.
On my 200 the eyes are narrow so I managed to get away with just one sheet 
10"x16" @$22.95. I've cut it along and got 2 strips, each was 130mm wide. It 
was a perfect fit.

If I remember it correctly, the UrQ's euro eyes are also narrow. You might 
want to measure their width (of the flat surface, between the upper and 
lower curves!) before you order.
