I didn't tell the car what I was doing to it and as the LED's and HID's draw less power no errors appeared.Either lucky or car sensed no problem! Case of Just go with the flow. As I live in the country and travel long distances often at night I love the "daylight" look and give wildlife a chance as I can see so much. Neil.

How are the patterns and cutoffs on the HID's?

Low beam cutoff seems more defined on the road and high beam is hard to explain.Gives a more of a "daylight" look that seems a little odd at first but you quickly adjust. One thing that stands out are the reflective road signs.The bigger ones act like a mirror and can be hard to look at,also HID's pick up the very distant signs way before you get to them.(you see the signs but the road is not visible but they are probably 2 kilometres away)! Hope this helps. Neil

BTW I can not distinguish any patterns,just an overall flood of light on both beams.
