Let me explain my situation a little better to you. I have family in Tallassee, TN. Now, if you look that up on google maps, you will see that it is about 5 miles from where Deal's Gap (The Dragon) starts. I spend some weekends up there working at a store my uncle and dad own. We typically close at 9, I get the paperwork done by 10pm. Then - it's dragon time. These lights are fully functional and work very well for that.

Also, I work at a resort. I typically get off around midnight to 2am. My commute is 35 miles on a somewhat twisty back country road. They get used every night on my way home. Just last week, I was able to spot a deer in time to avoid a collision with the lights on. Had I just had my low beams or even high beams on, I'm not sure the outcome would have been the same.

Sometimes, I get bored at night and like to go for a drive on my favorite roads. They come in handy then too.

I'm not much for aesthetics. I like to saying that I'm not an automotive enthusiast, rather, I'm a driving enthusiast. I find no other explanation on how I logged 32k miles last year as a full time student and working full time. I ran through three sets of front tires and four sets of rear tires last year alone. I just drive. It's what I do. My car gets used.

Oh, and your reference to Tarmac Rally Cars being on street tires - What, you expect them to run slicks? Have you ever driven on slicks? Ever messed around with even a little bit of gravel on slicks? Yeah, for a tarmac rally, you're not going to be running slicks. Sorry buddy.

 

They are god awful, aren't they? They are great compared to many other cars, but compared to this setup, they are nothing.

 

not a fans of it
but I love the yellow beam, I have yellow light on my high beam
but no way it would be as bright as yours

 

It makes me think of this:


...which is good.

 

I saw that thing on BringATralier.com earlier this year. I would love to have that thing.

 

at least they work and have function, better than all the cheasy Audi LED wannabees

 

^ I'm seeing more of those every day- Altimas, 350z, IS250, etc etc etc. That is definitely the new rice fad of the moment.
