I don't know if it's true or not that a well-designed US-spec
headlight would be better under some conditions than a well-designed
euro-spec headlight.  However, *Audi's* US-spec headlights, at least
on the older models, are *very much* inferior to the euro-spec
versions.

Maybe this is because the regulations in Europe specify a better beam
pattern, or maybe it's just because Audi put more work into the
home-market versions (entirely possible given the relative sales
volumes).  But I wouldn't ever want to drive my Coupe again with the
old DOT-legal 45/65W 9004s.  They were dangerously bad.
