Do the Eurospecs get rid of that odd cut off line you see on the ground with the DOT ones? Sad part is I had a set of the Euro ones in my hands a few years back but sold them cheap as I had the South African rounds in that van. I'll never get those again as I didn't like the quality of the grill. Plus I really like the look of the later headlights. Is there still a source out there for the Eurospecs? Thanks Kim for taking the time to answer.
