I got one of the earlier sets of lights, but I'm not unhappy with them.
They have a focused beam which is easy to aim (I don't use them in traffic
anyway, 'specially not with the higher wattage bulbs). The sealed beams
were replaced with H4's, with 80w lo / 100w hi bulb. Those easily remedied
the normal driving lack of light problems. On the dark roads, hitting the
hi-beams or the H3's really makes a difference. Not just lighting up the
trees, but actually seeing the road (or anything on it). Very nice. and
yes, relays are required for this setup: too many amps thru that poor
little switch on the dash. http://www.oz.net/~sneakers/quadbus.jpg
