Because of the sharp cutoff at the upper edge of the low beams
they're much easier to aim than US-spec lights.  A number of times
I've re-aimed mine on the road when a load in the back was making
them high.  As Andrew says, putting them at the top of the trunk-line
of the next car ahead on the highway will give excellent low-beam
visibility without bothering people.

The rising cutoff to the right is wonderful for seeing signs on the
roadside.  The small disadvantage is that when you pass a passenger
vehicle they will have bright light in their mirror for a few
moments.  In many years of use in several different vehicles I only
remember two people complaining after being passed.
