When I bought some WallyWorld tires for MrTaurus last winter, the tire guy
put a torque limiter bar on the impact wrench, then burped the lugs down
snug with an educated finger on the throttle, making the torque bar
superfluous.
He then got out a micrometer torque wrench, torqued all twenty

No, you only have to purchase the correct connectors. The NA-spec lights use
a four-pin connector, but the euro lights want a six-pin connector (plug).
However, the lights will work fine using your existing harness. You just
