Hi David
I agree with what you say about the oncoming blue lights, I can't comment on
driving a car equipped with xenon lights, I would like to add that the lens
unit makes a lot of difference to the light output, I had a 2500S a few
years ago with Hella bulb type lenses fitted and running 100/80W H4's and
100W H1's, and now have a 2000 MKI running Cibie bulb type lenses with the
same bulbs and although the Hella's did improve the night time visibility,
it was still obviously night time, the Cibie's create instant daylight! Yes
I do know that the 100/80's are supposed to be for off road use only, but I
have them well aimed and gave driven in front of them in my PI and they do
not dazzle as much as most other cars, especially the ones less than 3 years
old that haven't had their first MOT test!

Driving at 9/10 - you're not paying attention, 10/10 - to and from work, but
to really have fun requires 11/10!

| For the ultimate light, the Xenon bulb is best. Be sure to get the correct

| "cool", but in my opinion as an on-coming driver, they are very uncool -
| they dazzle and give an undefined light.
|
| However the WHITE Xenon bulbs give out a whiter (read brighter than
halogen)
| well defined light and do not dazzle on-coming drivers. Having fitted
| 55W/60W Xenon H4 bulbs or 55W H1 to all three of our cars, I can highly
| recommend them.
