Headlamp from Europe

[Duezzer]

Hi All,

I had struck a deer on the drivers side - The body shop replaced the drivers side headlamp assembly as it was damaged.

Now I have one side that looks great and the other still having the original headlamp in it that is faded and has the burn marks.

I have a friend in Europe that can pick me up and send to me fairly inexpensively a 986 631 032 11 head lamp - The NA Part # is 98663113204.

What is the difference between these 2 assemblies and can they be interchanged.

Basically will the UK or Euro headlamp assembly work in an NA car?

I have been told the NA has a wide short beam and the UK or Euro is more of a spot style due but not sure if this is true.

I have no problem with having the different beam projection as long as it will fit the car.

I also have an idea on the stopping the burning of the glass inside.

I was going to swap the Low beam and DRL from a halogen H7 to a LED H7 - Reduced Temp and don't need extreme light for either - will keep the Halogen H7 in the High beam which does not get used much.

Thanks for any input in advance.
