Euro headlight conversion.
Hi everybody,
I own an US spec MX3 with usual crap-plastic headlights... I finally out my hands on a set of glass H4 headlights from an euro MX, so I need to know:
Do I need anything other than the light (plugs or connectors, wires)?
I just have to put in new ones and they will work without any mod?
Any help appreciated!

Ok thanks,
but just the plugs near headlights or I have to remove the whole harness?
Don't even know where it goes..

Re: Euro headlight conversion.
Take some picture of the beam pattern on the wall and down the street? If you haven't swapped the housings already do the same for the stock headlights for reference? Heh curious to see.
Hope the project goes well!
