think you missed the point Darren. If you have two on top of each other, they may burn the curtains of granny down the road with their epic brightness, but if they only light up a bicycles width, they're a bit ****.
On the other hand if they are side by side, you'll burn her whole window through....

You could have four like Peg, not only burn one set of curtains, but four. Bright as hell, four in a row, six with all of them on, lights up two carriageways, thats the one your on, and the one in the opposite direction. On a motorway.

So with that in mind. I go the right way up, horizontal

Well think about what causes beam patterns to go way they do. That 4" difference will make no difference, it is direction light comes out of lamp that is going to make difference.

Na I knew what he meant. I tried out one single HID when I got them and its beam pattern and overall spread completely drowned out the two little yellow dots from the dominators. The spread from the projector lens is really wide. Having them side by side wont make any noticeable difference

I might get some pics to show the difference between them
