Does anyone know if the headlight bezels are different between Euro spec 113's and American spec ones? I know they say they are different but that might be due to the American ones coming with the plastic turn lamp etc. Has anyone checked the part numbers on the castings?

I looked them up the other day myself but the problem is the US bezel would come with the turn signal assembly but the Euro bezel is the bare frame so in the book the part numbers will be different however the frame may be the same casting.

Guys,
The chrome bezel itself is the same, however, the Euro style (single chrome frame) bezel has a clamp riveted inside into the top area in order to attach it to the casted Euro headlight unit.
Although these rivets are visible on the US headlight units as well I am not sure they have the same type of clamp in there. I believe not but perhaps you'll better have a look on yours.
I will get and see the US headlights that came off my car and can check for you but I won't have an answer for you until this weekend.
Sorry ...

I used my US bezels with the new Euro lights I bought years ago. They are different, but all you have to do is grind off a little notch from the bezels to make them fit perfectly. So there should be no need to buy new bezels.
