I'm very happy with my US-style H4/H4 units. Using two 90W low beams and =
four 100W high beams give mucho light. The Euro beam pattern may be =
better but total lumins will be the same with identical bulbs. Be sure =
you relay them, regardless of which type you decide on.

Subject: Re: Euro Light question
I've got the quad H1/H4 setup and it's a big improvement over factory.
You'd be using the same bulbs so I'd imagine that they'd be just as =
bright,
however the beam pattern would almost certainly be different.
