Back in the eighties when I was buying euro cars in the US and sending them=
 to France (primarily Jags) when currency and regs were favorable, I had se=
veral yellow lights and metric speedo kits to install on the cars headed to=
 France. Once cleared thru the bureaucracy the kit was removed, the US gear=
 reinstalled and the French gear sent back to me for the next shipment.
I also brought some cars to the US until dealers got the US government to s=
hut that biz down via "safety" regs. C'est la vie.
