I had "angel eye" aftermarket headlights on my old Corsa C. They looked pretty damn decent to be fair, but the light output was HORRIFIC! Even when properly aligned and with uprated bulbs. I'd only imagine these would be similar.

I'm working on a little "project" regarding bugeye headlights at the moment. Check out the Members Gallery section in the next week or two...

As HT states they are a wee bit pants, but a good base to modify, and can take HiD's which means half the outlay to Hi/Lo H4's.
That's why I bought a set. Most aftermarket lights are suspect quality, but hey they're great for tweaking - just swap back for MOT time. I'm also working on replacing the halo tubes in the 'Sonar' jobbies for proper CCFL's - can't beat the pure crisp brightness.
