I love them, the light is very wide and very even. It projects further out in front and to the sides. They are really noticable on a dark road. There are no hot spots. No air brakes sticking up in front either.

Really fantastic!!!

I've had xenon light on two BMW's and an Audi and these lights are better. And then, the way the road lights up when you use the high-beams is incredible.

At the Detroit Auto Show in January, Dave Hill said the lights were the best in the automotive world.

Long over due. One small criticism: the light pattern is so sharp between light and dark that when making a corner with low beams you sometimes wish for the side light like the C4 had.

It's a long time coming! I have them on our 03 Navigator and can't imagine not driving without them. Didn't have them on the 03 Harley F-150 so I had to buy a set for it, too!

No regrets here!

To quote "The Blues Brothers," I have seen the light!

They are really nice. Clean, sharp, bright light. Can't say much more. I think they look awesome on the car too.

Like having a patch of daylight in front of the car. Only wish they had tied them into the steering as some manufacturers have done for a natural look-where-you're-going effect at night.

Just used them for the first time tonight. They are great. Don't see how I got along without them on my other vehicles.
