My experience with it was good, functions as advertised. Much better light,
and not having ALL the headlight current run through the switch seems smart.
My first car, a 6V 62 bug, a different story.

I had two small issues with it (okay one small and one minescule)

1) It was challenging to compell the detached fuse block to flip over to
expose the wires that needed splicing. I was afraid I was gonna yank
something I couldnt reconnect in that orientation.

2) Both the circle ground lugs on the body near the fuse block were ful full
full. Had to move something up to a higher less accessible lug to create a
hole.

I was hurrying so I didnt take the time to try to get the haze from the
backside of 3 of four (the originals) lenses.
