[detours]

I apologize for the poor quality pics (Edit: these are new pics, much higher quality), but the light is pure white with maybe a small hint of blue. You can see a clear cutoff in the low beam and a nice wide dispersal with a broad hotspot. What you can't see is the nice lighting to both sides.

The only downside of the low beam is the up angle toward the left. This is fine for driving on the left side of the road (Japan, UK, Australia), but is the opposite of what we need in the US. But it's sooo much better than my previous beam! I'm not going to worry about it for now, but I may rotate the lamp counterclockwise to send the angle up toward the right.

The high beam provides a nice wide oval with slight shadows on the bottom left and right of the hotspot. Outside of the hotspot, the lamp provides good light to the sides.

Note: When the high beam is on, the low beam is off. We get 4000 lumens on low and the same on high beam. I'm fine with this. I don't need 8000 lumens high beam and the whole point is to NOT melt the housing!

Also Note: I'm using the 2015.5 headlight that lacks the LED strips on each side. I think this helps widen the light pattern.
