Alex,

I have no clue, what are the "euro-spec" headlights. Sure, somebody
mentioned
to my dad about the headlights of Lumina, too - but what kind of animal
is the
"euro-spec" headlight? I don't believe, it is a big trouble to find
euro-spec
ones for the A6QW - Lumina is an other case...
Sorry to be so uninformed. (BTW my friend from Ingolstadt told me, in
Germany
the TÜV doesn't care about the color of the turning lights - but he may
be wrong.)

Thanks

George
