Looks like the headlight connectors on these lights only work on Euro spec vans for now. 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.
