Upgrading 100Q to Euro Lights

[Andrew Duane USG/PE <duane@zk3.dec.com>]

I'm going to Europe in November for business and pleasure, and
have talked to Tom Nas, our brother in the Netherlands about
swapping to the Euro Lights.

Hairy green toads from Mars made Tom Nas say:

So, can anyone supply some details? Since the design hasn't changed
between '83 and '90, while in the US it certainly has, I assume there's
a new grill assembly involved.
