No, the plug is different for which I made a pigtail so I didn't damage
the wires. Also the circuit is different on non USA cars where the highs
and lows are on when using High. You can install a diode if you want
full blinding performance :o) mechanical installation is a snap.

As far as my current knowledge goes, they are OEM and 94 up.

95 % cosmetic, nicer beam, more flexibilty from bulb standpoint.
Sharper  beam but it's mostly for looks.
Not the new funky BMW bulbs. Regular H1.
