    Euro Adjusters VS. US Adjusters

    Does anybody know if the US Ellipsoid adjusters work on the euro ellipsoids? Just picked up a set with rusty ass adjuster screws, and I'm looking to get new ones. It would be much easier to just order the us ones here, as supposed to getting the euro ones.

    TIA.

    I am 99.99% positive that they are identical.

      thats 99.99% more than me! sounds like I'll give the other .01% a chance to chime in.

          I'll put it this way then: I know that the frames and lenses and buckets are the same, so I figure that the adjusters would be as well. Why would they be any different? The only real difference between U.S. and Euro ellips is the internal/reflectors of the low beams.

            The adjusters are the same. I just swapped out a couple of broken/missing adjusters on my newly aquired smileys.

                    I did all mine with a wire wheel, They all work without the little plastic ends, I can finger turn them.
