This topic used to come up quite often. You can get the US spec assemblies for I think $120 USD or so..the E-spec are as much as double that price. But the optics are so far superior, that using the same wattage on low beam is a whole different light. The pattern is vastly superior is cutoff sharpness, beam shape, and uniformity of lighting within the pattern. Also, the European spec uses the superior H4 bulbs as compared to the poor 9004 bulbs of the US spec. The H4 allow you to safely upgrade to higher wattage bulbs, provided you also upgrade the wiring. Though, with the better optics, you likely won't feel the need to upgrade.
