Differences between US and Euro Xenons? ('05-'06)

Hey everyone,

I'm looking at updating the xenons on my '04 MCS to the newer style on the '05/'06 projector style, mostly because my current lights (among other things ) got sandblasted with the last windstorm we had.

I was playing around on realoem, and found that there are different part numbers between left-hand drive US and left-hand drive European market cars. Does anyone know the difference between the two? Does the Euro model have a sharper cut-off in the light pattern? Also, those of you w/ xenons in Europe - do you have automatic headlight leveling or do you have a switch on the dash for that?

My gf is going back to Switzerland next month for a few weeks. If the Euro light has a better light pattern and is otherwise interchangeable with the US lights, I'll have her try to pick up a set for me.

Thanks in advance!
