As did/do all the overpowered H4s or overpowered halogen bulbs everyone has run for years, all illegal, all with the potential to annoy and cause glare�Mike, that is my point.� Let alone the euro only reflectors, and the E-codes, and even worse the idiots running RHD 7" reflectors�on LHD cars.� If I'm not getting flashed in over a year, it ain't annoying anyone, I'll keep doing it so I don't hit a moose.� I read this stuff when put em in, I read the stuff that told me not to put the first set of Hella�55/60W H4s in my '78 diesel Rabbit in 1987 as well.� 
�
Chalk it up to my generous disregard for fellow man, running my Honda generator for my wife when I camp, etc, etc, etc.� Again what I am interested in is if anyone has put them in the stock reflectors, and if so were they or were they not exceptionally annoying, because if they are, I will refrain, if they are not, I will likely install a set and am not wanting to blow the $180 to find out.� Who knows maybe I'll put a 4" stainless tip on the exhaust too, and cut a couple coils off it to lower it...
