Euro Headlights 92-06 Econoline

Has anyone installed a set of these on their van? They look nice, wondering if they are any brighter than stock lights?

I bought a pair of them a couple of years ago. The lighting was awful. I tried a different set of bulbs, but that didn't help much. Finally ended up buying a set of stock replacement headlights.

I have Euro headlight. The pattern did not work at all with Halogens (way too low at full adjust and too abrubt cutoff). I tried HID bulbs on a hunch, and they work perfect with the Euro lens. Full, bright coverage, good distance, and the sharp cutoff keeps the bright light out of other driver's eyes.

Where you able to retain your high beam? I've never seen 9007 dual beam HID's.

Yes. You have to order "Bi-Xenon" bulbs. They have a solenoid which move the position of the glass tube.
