Subfixer,

got some night shots of the lights outside on the road?

Hard to show in pictures.
As good or better than the HIDs in my R8.
Just about as good as any current high end vehicle.

Jeff,

Here’s a couple of shots from the manufacturer of low and hi beam coverage.

Looks pretty much as above from my driver's seat.

Thanks for the confirmation, you cannot always trust some of those photos

I just installed the Osram headlights after one of my Genssi units failed. Honestly I'm not very impressed with the Osrams, when facing a wall up close I get two very distinct lines of light with a big gap in the middle. On the road they have good side lighting and signs pop out but they seem rather dim on the pavement. I may end up buying another Genssi, I was very impressed with their light output.

I guess I’ll see what my light pattern looks like. Reviews were very good for these lamps.

Yeah I saw some good reviews and the listed light output looked good... and they are half the price of the Genssi units... but I drove around with half and half for a while, then switched to both Osrams and just not impressed. The other night it was raining pretty good and I felt like my visibility was badly impaired, never had that problem with the Genssi units.
One other thing I noticed is that the Genssi headlights are quite a bit heavier than the Osrams, almost an extra pound each.
