Hi,

I am very conscientious of my effects on others -- that is one reason I
am considering the E-codes.  I thought the general consensus was that
the light pattern was better than DOT lights, with a sharper cutoff, to
avoid blinding oncoming drivers.  Since I was asking if the 9004's would
fit (they don't) you can also conclude that I will probably keep the
bulbs at the stock wattage -- I am not in a contest for Megawatt bulbs.

About safety -- is it my imagination or are HID bulbs getting worse!
Even the VW $lave trader, I mean Touareg, has those obnoxious things!

Thanks,
Michael

As I always tell those out there that are adding these
lights.............

It is great that YOUR visibility is improved.  But thing about the
people
coming at you that you are blinding.   They are not improving your
safety at
all.
