Hi there, can a EU version laser light be coded to a US version laser light if so, can somebody help me do it? What is the difference between a EU version and a US version. If it comes as an EU version, will it work? Do I want to change it from an EU version? Thanks, I am a newbie!

Do the 11 pin North American connectors fit the 9 pin euro headlights?
If someone in the US wanted to install euro headlights, is it plug & play + coding, or does it need a wiring harness adapter?

I couldn't tell you personally if it will work but I do know coding the lights from led US to LASER US is easy to do
I'm sure someone can chime in on this 9 pin is just no side marker lamp and 11 pin with side marker lamp but the question is can we use a euro headlight in the US anyone can confirm why or why not ???

It would be great to find out if the US model can accept the EU lights, plug & play + coding would be ideal.

I am indeed looking at the Chinese ones, I've been in contact with a company on Alibaba that makes them, but only euro style.

I may roll the dice on them....I just need to know if the wire harness from my car will attach to the Euro style lights without needing an adapter or wire splicing.
I'm thinking that the connector is the same for USA and Euro, just that the Euro has 2 less pins & wires being used in the standard connector.

Here's a other thread about the Alibaba lights:

I've been dealing with Ali express for over 10 yrs.....look at the ratings anything less then 90% rating is a crap shoot . If you ever have to return something they will drag you through the ringer make a stupid offer. That's why I use a major credit card like citi bank which will do a charge back . Don't ever use a debit card worst mistake might as well give them you money ....
