But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

The are illegal, or soon to be illegal, wether or not you think they are too bright. You may leave your self open to getting fined. I removed mine recently for this very reason. Personally I don't think mine were too bright and never got flashed or pulled but the law is the law unfortuantely. To use them legally they must be fitted to suitable projection headlamps, with self levelling and washers.

aside from them being illegal unless you do ALL the mods necessary... 8000k is flipping pointless. 6000k is the ideal temperature.

well done for giving us all a pre-crimbo laugh though  :grin: :grin:
