Euro Light question

When I first got into Scirocco's I thought the US lights looked a lot better too, kinda gave it the "Delorean look". Anyway, now that I've gone euro lights I'll never go back, because of both the looks and the lighting. Installation to a car with US bumpers is a straight bolt in if you want them to be held in by 3 screws each(which is fine), but you do have to trim the bumper trim a bit to get the bottom 3 screws in(not hard at all, nor really necessary). You also have to swap the positions of two wires from your US connectors(also easy). You can relay them too ofcourse, which would be harder. My lighting is far better now, and I haven't even relayed them (yet). They use H4(for high/low) and H1(to assist the high beam) bulbs, which while not as common as the sealed beams US lights use, they are still easy to get. H4's are usually about $8 a bulb from NAPA, H1's even cheaper. They are easy to replace. The euro's also have a bulb for driving lights, not sure what kind that is(haven't utilized them yet) but I'm sure they aren't too hard to find either. HTH-

better. Is this true? How hard are they to install? How expensive is it
to replace a broken/burnt out bulb? Thanks!
