Default For those of you with Euro projectors

How do you like them? Is there any significant difference in the lighting pattern between the US projectors? I was looking at them at PGPerformance.com and am considering them (what are the included "city lights"?)

Default LOVE them!! The lows do have a very sharp cutoff, but they are very bright.

The highs are amazing. They put off as much light if not more than my Corrado's euro lights that had a total of 4 100 watt bulbs burning on high beam. No joke. The lows put off a very white light, even with regular halogens. You will not be dissapointed.

Default Aligning is a BITCH. I finally got the lows right... but need to adjust for the highs.

they do not adjust separately, so the balance is a nightmare. I originally had it done at the dealership, but that was a waste. At least I didn't pay for it.

Default I don't think that is possible. I tried that, but everytime I got the lows good,

I tried to re aim the highs and messed up the lows. Finally I decided that I would be happy. Actually, when the lows are correct, the highs are supposed to be also.

The output is whiter? How is that possible (not that I'm doubting, just wondering =) )

Default It might be that one of my hi-beam bulbs is not seated correctly.

One light shoots to the moon.

One more question: do you guys have the Valeos (this is for a 99.5 non-xenon car)?

It has to do with the optics of the projector lens. It is kind of blueish.
