Came back from Sussex the other night, 150 miles, all after dark. The new HID light throws brilliant, white light to make B roads at 60 mph on dipped no problem. 80 on full beam is fine but sharp dipped cut off makes an overall 60 mph less heart stopping. On the motorway a constant 85 is easy as you can see all the different cats eyes. Main beam is stunning, the whole 2 lanes lit up like daylight for hundreds of metres. Dunno if motorists think they are being flashed or maybe there is a hint of blue in the light but even in daylight they now are quick to move over as you come up on them. I only flashed once, to let a coach pull out before it could sideswipe me, and the effect was of a camera flash in the dark. I have got to say that at £65 this HIDS4U H4 5000 Kelvin kit from e bay is a stunning safety improvement.
