Exactly same bulbs as in my post above, I have one on my AL7 and in both our cars, beam pattern and brightness are a step change from the filament bulbs. Some discussion earlier if the lower current draw ( about 2 amps per bulb compared to 5 amps for filament) will make RR work harder. These bulbs are about 200% more noticeable in daylight because they are much whiter light ( 6500K as opposed to about 4500K for filament).

These videos are quite amusing but also pretty informative..

Have attached a PDF photo of dip and main beam pattern on our garage door, I have one showing the dip and main on an actual road when I can find it will post it. ( found it - attached - bear in mind road in photo is sloping away from car so beams look higher than they are, on the road they are fine ).
