Bump. Still looking for a set (of Euros ideally)

Euro units have the rear fog light bulb position accessible (without breaking that plastic tab), and more importantly this section has the reflective metal backing installed.
See how there are little folded-over metal tabs on the brake and turn signal portions of your lamp? The euro housing has these in the fog light position indicating the reflective metal inside the housing.
Makes for a little more light output compared to silver paint in the north american housings, and slightly changes how the housing reflects light.
Here is an example on my car. Driver's side is the NA lens, passenger side is the euro lens. Notice the difference in the rear fog portion?
