Default C6 @ night?

What are the new headlights like? I found my C5 headlights to be pathetic and replaced them with the Euro T84 version.
I have seen a couple of threads on the C6 headlights and it seems like most are satisfied.
Are the C6 headlights adequate, good, or awesome?
Also, is the Euro version different than the US version?

I find the HIDs really make it easy for my 54 year old eyes to see and I really like the HUD at night. I think the dash lighting is pretty nice also.

A physician could perform surgery with them.

Oh yeah!! I had completely forgotten about the HUD. No more looking down at night! I have terrible glare recovery. That should help a lot.

They work as good or better than my BMW 330i and the fog lights complement the headlights rather well... I know the fixed vs pop up lights is a touchy subject here but I doubt anyone can argue that having them fixed makes for a much easier job in getting high quality lighting..

Agree. The first time I took my son out at night - he's 27 and a bit of a car nut also, he was very impressed at the headlight "throw" and brightness. I've been very satisfied.
