    e-bay headlights fit on euro-spec lights?

    hi there,
    i'm just curious anyone with euro-spec headlights had ever fitted e-bay "projectors" on their car.

    i have heard about the 4-pin to 5-pin conflict, and don't know what exactly those means.

    i have a euro-spec car, and interested in buying an e-bay projector just for fun. i'm just concerned with whether or not they will fit and work.

    I believe you will need the 5 PIN. 4 PIN was for North American cars, and 5 PIN was made for Europe.

    If you take a look at the back of your headlight, unplug it, you will see how many "PIN"s you have. You should do that just to double check.

    the simple question is..
    did those e-bay ones ever fit on the 5/6 pins?

    my car is back home in hong kong.. right now im in canada so i have no changes to check.

    when i got my headlights I had to change the connectors for the headlamps.. it doesnt do you any good cause I cant remember what I had!! I think I had to go from a 4 pin connector to a 6 pin connector.
    but the only problem you may have, as someone pointed out, is if you have the vacuum adjustable headlights. I dont remember seeing anything to do with the vacuum adjusters on the headlights.
