agree, think it makes the front end more appealing, more of aggressive look.

But with morettes you'll see this on the road at night...
Plus, you'll need a stick on roof vent to make morettes look suitably cheap

I found them to be just as good as the original lights. I think its the prodrive ones that are like candles.

As an aside, the screws holdng the foglight covers are prone to rusting a bit. Maybe try and get some stainless ones or varnish them.......
