FWIW, Hella NA told me that while I could purchase a replacement Euro lens for my Euro lights, they would not sell the Euro reflector alone - just as part of the Euro light. To get the Euro lighting effect, you would need the reflector, the lens, and a frame to maintain the same spatial geometry between the two.

The Euro lights seem to be a more shallow assembly than the DOT units as well, and the reflector appears a tad larger, but that may be hard to prove without removing the lenses. I tried to replace the reflector on the fog lights between the two lights (to get the yellow filter), but they were different sizes - the US fog reflector wouldn't go into the Euro frame! The Euro fog lens was more narrow than the US. The Euro headlight reflector looked a little wider and a little taller than the US. (Makes sense, since the fog light reflectors were different. I don't think they would make up a different fog reflector unless the design differences between the US/Euro headlight lens forced them into it!) I didn't measure the headlamp reflector at the time, but recall it did appear measurably smaller on the US lamp than on the Euro light.

On the w124 pics thread there are pics of Adams US headlight car, and below it the pics of a Euro light car. These show the differences pretty clearly.
