Ellipsoids

[Dan Burger]

So, anyone have euro ellipsoids? I'm toying with the idea and would appreciate some feedback.

Thanks

I think I have ellipsoids.
Are those what people call euro?
Mine have a nice cutoff and then go up on the right.

Well worth it.
Only thing better euro xenons.

Yeah, they are often called Euro's because they are a factory option over there. The lense cover is glass rather than plastic and they reportedly give about 30% better distance lighting. Mine are getting scratched up and I wouldn't mind an upgrage while I'm at it.

Thanks!

I have them, but you should rewire entire light from the Alternator to the back of the bulb to get the full benefit. Otherwise you would be running thin wires that do little to improve the overall brightness. Basicaly you are running the lights at 70% of their capacity. I plan on rewiring it next month. They do light the sides much better than the plastic originals.
