Greetings good motorized people of this forum,

Im in a need of buy a set of headlights for Discovery 2 2003 lift, for European, Polish roads. I searched auctions and shops, asking if its UK/USA or Europe lights and each time seller had serious doubts. When one of them confirmed it
, I finally bought a set of two headlights. Now I'm not so sure if they are EU... Can someone help me confirm it? How can this be checked without opening the lamp? Can you tell this just by numbers or symbols on the cover, on the lamp? There is platy of them.

Two pictures in ZIP folder as attachement. I can provide more if needed!

I would very appreciate your help!

 

This is what I learnt from my old days of owning VW and Porsche classics... tThe "E4" stands for the E-code (Euro) compliance. The US ones will have "DOT" (US Dept of Transportation) stamped on the headlamps. E-code headlamps have a different beam cut-off and spread pattern compared the US DOT ones.

 

Aren't the EU headlights vertically adjustable with motors? US ones are fixed and have no motor for it.

 

Not sure this is relevant but lenses in UK lamps are often cut differently because they drive on the other side of the road and the beam shines opposite to US. Aftermarket like Hella for sure, I would assume the factory would d the same thing.

 

This thread has some good pics illustrating the beam focus and cut-off patterns of E-code and DOT headlamps:
