I would expect the beam pattern is determined by the lenses and bulb type. Thus if the NA bulbs are the same as Euro, which I believe is the case, only the connectors need to change.

I assume their U.S. lights will come with U.S. connectors. Another issue will be lenses. Are these LEDs designed to work with e-code (euro) lenses and not the DOT lenses on U.S. vans? E-code lenses throw an entirely different beam than DOT lenses. > > >> On Jan 15, 2016, at 7:30 PM, Automatic digest processor <LISTSERV@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> wrote: >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of >> Alistair Bel >> Sent: Friday, January 15, 2016 1:23 AM >> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM >> Subject: Re: Headlight upgrades >> >> Sounds like a drop in led bulb for stock lamps.
