So the Euro and H4 conversions seem to be the best lighting options. I have had the Euros before and they were amazing.
They blow the sealed beam pos headlights away, but how do the compare to US ellips? I know about the beam pattern, and I will have HIDs.
Will US ellips serve well enough, or should I hold out for Euros?
BTW, I have sealed beams right now so ANYthing is an upgrade.

Switching from sealed to ANYTHING is going to give you dramatic improvements.
I think that US ellips are fine if you use the high beam bulbs in the low beam housings. The low beam bulbs have a black paint on the tips that blocks some forward light. High beam bulbs are the same but without the black tips.
Euros have slightly wider pattern from what I read.
I just did the switch, super easy to do and looks way better.
