Re: Asian "Euro Lights" 200 1991

I have a set. Got my headlights on ebay, my signals from All-Euro. While they aren't perfect, they're way better than the stock lights. They don't blend into the front end as well, and take some fiddling to fit, but most people won't notice, and having directional beams means you can run higher-wattage bulbs without blinding other drivers. I would go back to the stock lights only under extreme duress.

I made adapters to the Volvo plugs by taking a 9004 bulb and smashing it with a hammer while it was rolled in something (think I used a piece of carpet, plus I was wearing safety glasses because the bulbs can be explosive).

Then I soldered the wires from a standard headlight pigtail onto the proper filament risers (now uncovered), and covered the connections with shrink tube and tape. You can plug the finished product into the Volvo 9004 plug and the other end into the back of your H-4's in the Euro-style. This allows you to quickly change back if you decide to sell the car and keep the lights.

The turnsignal connectors might also need a crimp to fit tightly on the stock plugs.

So you won't win a concours, but you'll see better at night.
