Exactomondo, when properly adjusted, they are so superior to sealed beams
it ain't even close and they cannot blind another driver unless he has a
street legal go-kart. Far less beam scatter. Precise cut off line on low

brightly on the shoulder with casting to the deer about to leap off the
cutbank. Serious safer lighting. Das Beste!!!
