For me i dont have an issue with how bright my lights are.. i can see just fine at night (WHEN THE DAMN THINGS WORK) which is why i 'm tempted to go for the xenons..

my lights are weird one minute they work fine the next i flick on side lights and my dipped headlights come on (BUT VERY VERY DIM) and one more click to goto dipped head and they go off completely.. but when they do work they are fine.. glad they where having a moment of working when it went for MOT
