Dutch, German, French, just about any "mainland" EUDM should work. The ones that won't work are UK and few RHD drive countries (according to wiki, there are four in Europe, and they're island type, like the UK).
In the past, I had thought about buying the automatic climate control from a German based dealer/shop, but shortly gave up after a brief search didn't produce any real results. That being any webpage I could understand and that shipped to the US.
It is possible to obtain the OEM EUDM LHD LED units for the 2018 - 2019 cars, but the cost is prohibitive.
I don't know how many of you participated in this back in the early 2000's, but it's probably going to be the same thing that it was with the OEM EUDM LHD HID for the EP3 Si in the United States. In other words, we have to wait for somebody in the business to realize that there is enough of a market to warrant buying quite a few of them in order to lower the price considerably. I don't remember how much I finally paid for the OEM HID for my EP3, but it wasn't anything close to what it would cost if I did it myself. (And those HID had little motors to level the headlights, too.)
I'm getting conflicting reports about the Morimoto XB. There are glowing reviews on YouTube, but people who used to work on my track car say that they have moisture problems after a couple of years. I trust them, having worked with them for 20 years, so I'll wait on Morimoto, too.
In the mean time, I'm going to do something astonishingly cheap. :-)
These bulbs are only 49.99 on Amazon Prime (including shipping). They allege to replicate the position of the H4 bulb in reflectors, and they say they are designed specifically for reflectors.
I worry that the fan and heat sink are inside the reflector housing, because of course the air is a lot hotter in there. But they are cheap enough that if they blow it will be easy to replace them. The manufacturer projects 30,000 hours, which is more than I'd probably ever need for this car.
They are not as bright as a lot of other bulbs. Testers say 200X H4, and you'll be aware that there are a lot of bulbs out there that promise quite a bit more.
The light pattern is not perfect, but it's a hell of a lot better than the H4's. No visible flaring or dark spots, but not perfect. Nobody's flashing high beams at me.
Everything works, including constant, no flicker DRL. But the DRL are really quite bright despite the reduced power, and you might want to think about pulling the DRL fuse if it is allowed to do that in your state.
