[W126 Coupe] regarding this discussion on euro headlights

[Jonathan Hodgman]

Really?   I adjust mine each time I'm in the car, typically numerous times
whist driving.  I Very much appriciate having the ability to tweak my
headlight level!

Running stock US lights in euro housings wouldn't make any sense as the US
bulbs are crap.
