    Switching from Euro Ellips to US ellips?

    Obviously the city light connection would be different.....but would I have to rewire/resolder if I was removing euro's and putting in US ellips?

    and if someone, you know who you are, is reading this.....yes, I'm considering.

            the problem with US ellipse are the crappy low beam bulbs.. although you can modify the high beam bulbs to fit in the lows.

              $$$ is always good. As for the City Lights, I am so excited about them, I never hooked them up on mine.

                    The elliptical low beams ARE crappy. I bumped'em with better bulbs and they're still crappy. How DO you modify the high beam bulbs to fit in the lows??

                      E34 uses same US ellips. Read this link:

                        Wiring is the same. Plugs are different.
