Michael:

As Columbo says, "Just one more thing." Actually two more things.

The Canadian designers did design one item better than the American designers. Or maybe it was a law up in Canada that we didn't have here. They used a 50-candle power bulb as compared to the American 30-candle power. I am now using 50-candle power in my 120. It DOES make a difference. They are somewhat hard to find but they are still out there:

Mazda 2330 - headlight (USA, 30 power)
Mazda 2530 - headlight (Canadian, 50 power)

The other thing that I wanted to note is that you mentioned the lack of lens retainers (clips) to hold the lens to the bezel on the Canadian set-up. The American set-up uses 3-4 clips per lens (they are in the shape of a "W") to hold the lens onto the chrome bezel. Then the whole unit is mounted to the bucket.
