Some friends of mine and I bought halogen lights out of an ad in Auto Week.

I bought Cebie (sp?) and my friend had (Z Beam) lights.
There is no question in my that the lenses on his lights were better 
than mine.  His head lights had a great sharp cutoff and nice lighting
to the side of the road.  

Because the lights we had are not sealed we could order bulbs that are
brighter than normal.  40/100W bulbs I think.  This gives me great
visability on long dark roads and regular low beams so I don't bother
other drivers.

My halogen lights haven't seemed to give others a problem on the road.
At least I don't get people flashing their lights at me.  The problem
with halogen or any headlights is when people don't aim them.  

In short: get Z-beam lens and order bulbs with a brighter high beam.
And please don't forget to aim them.
