Today's QOTD reminded me of a comment thread on Hooniverse noting that people in Europe do USDM headlight swaps on their Saab 96s. They do this because they want something different from their H4 lighting setups, while those of us in the US do the exact opposite and scrounge around for H4 setups to replace their sealed beams. I've gotten quite used to my USDM setup, but I can still see the appeal of the Euro lights. What's the Oppo consensus on these two setups from an appearance perspective?

They both look good in their own way

I really feel that the Euro lights have aged better.

The bottom one looks like it's taking a corner. Best check them bushes

I'll always vote sealed beam. I miss round headlights.

Round H4s... Best of both worlds.
