I picked up one of these and had it in a week

I apologize for lack of photos showing light coverage or the installation. But simple plug and play took 10 mins. Came with an entire harness set with what i guess is an LED regulator for maybe other models. Put it in the box and didn't need it.

Is there a pretty good cut off line or is there more of a center hot spot?

With the time change I'm driving the Miata in the dark more and decided to upgrade the church candles it came with to a pair Cibie E-code housings with Phillips Xtreme Vision +130% bulbs. The Miata uses 7" round sealed beams. Amazon says I got them today so tonight I'm going to install the 8790A clone next to a Cibie and see how it compares.

I really don't ride much after dark so illumination isn't as important on it as it is on my car. My work commute is mostly rural interstate with lots of woods and farmland so deer are a problem... I like to be able see and the Cibies are near the top of the heap for street legal halogen lamps.

Just as a comparison, here is a Cibie E-code and Phillips Xtreme visiin +130% ($50 for each reflector, $25 for a pair of bulbs)

It's getting dark and I don't really feel like fighting with the Miata right now, so the rest will have to wait...
