If you want to save some pennies then I found that 80/100watt bulbs make all the difference. Technically cannot be used on any car before 1987 I think, however we gave them a good test having friends drive in front at different distances and also oncoming and no one said they were any brighter than a regular modern car and certainly not dazzling.
I think the saloon lights might be closer to the edge of the bonnet, so less tunnel vision effect. I did wonder what the effect of painting the inside of the pods with some reflective paint would be, but thought it might mess up the beam patterns - anyone else considered it?
