The US/Canadian lamps had the connectors at each bulb whereas the Euro ones have one connector on the outside of the lamp and all the wiring to each bulb was taken care of inside the lamp shell between the back of the lamp and the back of the reflectors themselves. The Euro one would be a direct swap but the US/Canadian would require minor rewiring. Also if it's a US car, you might want to consider this swap...to dual-bulb Euro units: http://www.parts4vws.com/catalog/pro...%2E651%2D66 1 That same site shows the dual-bulb US units as $120/side (so $240 total) and these Euro units are $325. So for just $85 more you get the superior Euro-spec lamp units anyway. Looks like it's plug-n-play as a kit too except for minor modification to the radiator support (the Euro and US cars had a difference here that affected the lamp mounting). |
