They actually do look to have (better than I expected) terrific output. He, ("Duffman") still needs to play around with the aiming, but as explained it's a trial & error thing. Personally, I'm not a fan of HIDs so really can't comment from experience regarding heat issues, but given that the reflector is not made of metal, I would like to say.......be careful. I'm now assembling the "new (slightly) improved" headlights I'll be bringing to the AU BBQ on Sunday, so Mechan1k, you will have "first option" on them on the day.

Oh & Duffie old boy, if you leave NOW..........you can still make it to the big day on Sunday :the_finge
