What would you rather have: Euro-spec Xenons or US-spec Xenons

If the price were the same and you could essentially have either european spec Xenon headlights or US spec Xenon headlights for the same price, which would you rather have?

NOTE: Obviously this poll refers to the E90 and does not include the E92.

For the same price, it's a no brainer for me...euro.

For the same money? I can't believe you're even asking this question...If hunter and eric's overlay success is any indication, i think the majority of e90 posters prefer the euro look.

Why? Do you also find it difficult to believe that some people like vanilla ice cream and others like chocolate.?

Hey you guys should change your tail lights to like, blue and white or something. And make the brake lights green. That would be cool. I'm sure the DOT didn't have a REASON for having standards for all of this stuff.

I don't think I've ever seen a good pic of the euros, but the amber does not bother me much. I too, like the idea of staying street legal.

Do you ever speed? I'm sure the states had a reason for those speed limits....

Many people, including myself, treat laws like many catholics treat our religion (including myself): we break the rules we want to break, but then we judge others for breaking the ones we choose to abide by. I am guilty of this as well (about laws)
