    Excluded from this are of course cars equipped with LAD. LAD adjusts the rear height automatically and therefore no need.

    I bought some Euro Ebay smileys, and the headlight says Bosch on it instead of Hella. The buckets are Hella

    Just ordered the kit from Mel..so I guess I'll need to get some bosch low beam caps as back up

    the actual electrical part should be identical for the H1 bulbs,give me a yell if you get stuck there is a wrecker just down the road from my work,and although we have rhd cars here,and most of his cars come from japan i can check to see if they are euro lights.Will you also need the high beam cap?

    High beam caps match. Apparently Bosch low beam caps do not mate with Hella's.

    Know more when Mels kit get's in.

    thanks everybody
