First test of my high beams>>>>

For the first time I was out in the dark and get a chance to try out my new high beams.

Here is how it looks in action.



With the regular high beam.



And with the extras.



I'm very satisfied with them at the first round.

Very nice.

It has a nice projection for projectors. The best high beams are still from the old regular headlights that actually projects a beam for distance.

I find that projectors only light up like a lamp while the traditional lights are measured by distance, like a flashlight.

Great lights!

With that kind of lighting and the mods you've added, the next logical step for your car is to take it on a night rally

Could you post some details/info on those lights? I really like the third beam.

Just out of interest what effect would that have on cars coming in the opposite direction, is it set up so as not to blind them?
