So what's your impression driving them??? I'm guessing they are a lot brighter, but are they sharp or are they more like a flood light?

Hate to burst your bubble but I think they are asking Cummins, he did start the post and those are his pictures.

Havent noticed any glare. Just alot of fog the night i took the pics. My inpressions driving with them are they light up all road signs/reflectors, road paint, etc... 3 times better. There does seam to be a beam not a flood because i was able to aim them quite easily. Will take more pics sunday night if its clear! and yess they are 8k bulbs

What housings did you use?
Do you have close-up pics of them with the lights off?
