FWIW, I have (well, had) those Bosch conversions from Bus Depot.  The price
is outstanding, and there is nothing really wrong with the lamps.  But I
just don't like the light pattern quite as well as some of the others I have
had.  The hot spot is a bit too close to the car on low beam (with the high
beam aimed properly), and they kick a little too much light up on the right.
I plan to try something else, preferably with a European "E-code" rating.

I see where Amazon has Hella H4 lamps for $36/ea (plus $4 for a 55/60 bulb).
But I'm tempted to get the Valeo (formerly Cibii) lamps, even though they
are twice the price.
