Finally got my French Euros on

I bought these off ebay.de, then finally put them on last week. The light from them far exceeds the US version lights, but I like the orange fogs better than the clear ones. They were tough to find, but I think worth it.

I paid $350 for them, then another $50 to get them here. One lens cracked in the transport, so that was another $50. Now they're like the AMG - "not for sale"!

Both of those are fantastic! Love the euro's with the yellow fogs. I don't really care for the euro's without the yellow, but that looks great. Over all, I prefer the classic though. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Cool. I've always preferred the French euros because of the yellow fog lights.

I agree ... a night pic is definitely needed.

Are the reflector dishes all that's yellow? Maybe I can do something to mine to make them yellow.

I thought the french euros were the ones that had circles so they kinda had the us look.

No. The round euros were used on the "low end" models until around 82 when all models got the square lights.

It seems that the driver lens is the new one, and the passenger lens is the old...

Do they have vacuum adjust pods in them? I'm curious to know.
