Ultimate guide for those considering Euro projector headlights - all the basics in one thread!

I'd like to know what you did to make it fit better... something to lift the bumper up more?

I pulled the bumper a bit inwards and up and tapped new plugs as per pics. Could not pull it up too much as hood gap would be too tight. Still not oem headlight fitment but better than out of the box.

Here is a pic of oem vs depo... From far away the oem looks more aggressive unlit as it has black housing

The original Euros did not have Black housing either ask me how I know😂

That driver headlamp was replaced with non-OEM at some point. OEM had some black trim but nothing to that degree.

On mine nope both are Ford OEM and came on the car since day one -- maybe pic is misleading - I'm located in Canada maybe they are varied for Canadian market as all the FISTs in town have same black trim. pics show the manufacture month date of April 2015 for both left and right headlights...car was purchased new in July 2015.
We also have DRLs running off the low beams -- found it so lame with the OEM headlights so deactivated it with FORscan..might turn it back on since new lights are projectors.

How is everyone's fitment of the Euro clones? I installed some TYC euros in my dads car & the fitment is not good.
If anyone had bad fitment - what did you do to adjust it?

I had the same issue with my TYCs. I leaned on them to to bias the fit forward and used some zip ties to snug the bumper cover up and even out the panel gaps. Not ideal, but good enough for me. I wanted DEPOs but at the time it seemed like they were discontinued. By all accounts the DEPOs are better than the TYCs for anyone still shopping.

Makes sense. Different headlamps for different market regulations.

Okay just got my euros in today and the search function wont work but how the hell do you install the high beams! I have the stock clip still in and I bought the focus headlight clip thing but for whatever reason my brain cannot compute how to get the bulb to plug in. I need like a version for a 5yr old I'm trying to install LAairH1 bulbs from LasFit

are they authentic euros? or are they TYC/depo? i was able to avoid using the other clip from the old headlights and use the mounting style that came on the headlights to hold the high beam in place. send pictures too - it's been several months since i've done my father's euros

I am in the process of installing my OEM projectors and managed to damage both pins that need to be moved (The seller gave me two correct pins for the additional DRL circuit, but just 2). When I search using the original descriptor given in the thread ( “150 female 20-16 terminal pins”) the results do not match exactly the pins in our plugs (they appear to have a tab within the square end that I am afraid will interfere with the connection as the original pins do not have these tabs. When I use the suggested “Molex 33472 - 1840” part number, the result is usually the whole plug, not the pins. Can someone please give me a reliable source for these pins !!!!
