RE: euro head light
For what bike?
If its a RG see below
The Harley part number for the European-spec headlamp optic for use on the RH side of the road (as we drive in North America) is 68995-01, and its beam patterns, both low and high, are much better focused: longer, wider and more effective. This headlamp uses the same configuration (twin reflectors with twin H4 bulbs) but the actual reflector optic surfaces are different.
Once you've swapped in the better optic, put in better bulbs. If you're after maximum nighttime seeing only (my choice), use a pair of Osram ultra high efficacy 70/65W Osram Plus 50: $22/ea at Daniel Stern Lighting
If you need a large improvement in nighttime seeing *and* you need other road users to see you earlier (so they don't do dumb things like pulling out in front of you), put in one Osram 70/65w and one Narva Rangepower+50 ($17/ea) with a CPI reusable selective yellow snap-on balloon ($9).
If you are on a tight budget, you can do the bulb swaps as described above in your existing lamp optic. This will not alter the poorly-focused beam pattern (light distribution) of your headlamps, but there will be more light within the beam.
