    I would also appreciate comments on if you really have to worry about the law stopping you -- or do they care, except perhaps when you roll in for an emissions inspection?

    Thanks!

      All:

      Just recently converted the lights on my MB 300TD to Euro type. Stock
      (exisiting) Wagner Halogen sealed beams were downright awful, I was
      constantly switching on the Bosch fogs when I had a chance. A recent
      late night run on the Hutchinson and Merrit parkways (drivers
      roads...twisty, dark and treacherous, as well a blast in my 505) had me
      spooked and determined to upgrade. Having done a little research, I
      opted for the reasonably priced Hella Vision H4 type units w/
      replaceable bulbs to retrofit my 7" round stock lamps. What a
      difference! Especially at the edges and foreground of the road. I used
      the existing aim settings, so far no flashes from on-coming traffic.
      Seems the Euro beam puts more light on the road and its sharp cut-off
      averts blinding oncoming or leading cars. Makes you wonder why we're
      stuck w/ DOT standards. Anyway....

      I know this topic has fueled some thread in times past but I would be
      curious of others experience w/ these types of lighting. Anyone have any
      Pug or MB experience they would like to share. I'd like some guidance
      about headlight aim and other types of E- code lighting. As well I've
      some source info that may be helpful to others thinking of converting.

      Best, T. Pendleton
