Headlight Mod. Euro Lights...

Anyone use these? They are 4703/4701 housings, like Eurolights, but seem to be much better.

They are a cast aluminum housing with semi-hardened glass lens. The best part is they have a hood on the low beam, so the 9006 can be replaced with HID lamps and not blind oncoming vehicles.

These pics I found elsewhere, they are not of my car. But they do show the Euro lights (the set on the left) compared to the popular Eurolights brand replacement housings. Notice that the lens's are not fluted like the Eurolights brand are, but instead flute the reflector, and also note that the housings are different for high and low beams, where the Eurolights brand are the same housing low and high.






Decided to order a set of the housings, and UPS says they will arrive this Wednesday. They come with 9006 and 9005 clear halogen bulbs and a pig tail adapter like is shown in the pics above. Will put them in with the halogen bulbs, but also plan on ordering a set of 35 watt 5000K HID kits for low, high and fog. That should really improve the headlamps on the bird.

Was wondering if anyone here had done the same, and what they thought of the setup.

Also, real-estate under the hood of the F-body is hard to come by. Was wondering where other members mounted the ballasts for their HID's ? Especially when using 3 ballasts for each side.
