I put euros from Katmac on my 126 today. They do offer a set with smoked
corner lights for $289 with free shipping. That includes the headlights, plugs,
main bulbs and colored bulbs for the corners. I paid a few bucks extra for
new foglights, too.

The quality on the headlights is first-rate. They are very similar to the
Bosch units I replaced. The corners are lower quality than the Bosch
but the difference is where you don't see it. It took me ten minutes to
get one of the bulb sockets to twist on because of slopply molding. When
you install the corners, I recommend putting the sockets in before mounting
them in the car.

Also, Katmac's instructions show wiring the plugs last. I recommend doing
this before putting the headlights in. If not, it's a little tricky getting the
plug oriented and on the headlight.

The beams are off on mine but the quality of light looks a lot better. You
have to remove the glass but the beams are adjustable up and down and
left to right. The fogs go up and down only.
