They are no problem when used with good-quality H4 lenses. If there's no low-beam cutoof, then blinding can become a problem. Don't confuse these with proper gas-discharge lights offered on a few expensive new cars now. I believe these units take something like 30000V, and can't be easily installed in older vehicles. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut
