we shipped a syncro to europe, it ended up in austria. for it to be made legal, the headlamps had to be replaced with the euro-spec version, big surprise right? as has already been discussed the optics are much better. also the parking lights are integrated into the headlamp assembly, there is actually another small bulb within the headlamp. this had to be rewired, as the usa is different. the assemblies did use a slightly hotter bulb the euro headlamps are available, i think i was looking ae about 200.00 USD per side... i'll get part numbers and post, although 99% of USA dealers will likely refuse to order, since these are not parts for the US market, but thats not a problem, there's always a way to get the good stuff. later patrick 86'crewcab
