i've never seen anything like this......if it wasn't raining i'd be outside in the street.....and this was only at 12.8 volts

That drive beam is INTENSE.... and the cornering beam, wow, the WIDTH of it! Of course, the uptick on the cornering beam and the light above center would be terrible on oncoming traffic. Both are pretty groovy tools.

the Cibie BOBi wasn't even close to being in the same league as the Z-beam......i used these:

one day after work i will setup a bench and do a much better "show" on the wall and down the driveway after work. i did this for myself and the Z just was very impressive.....the Bosch wasn't bad from what saw.....but i need to see them on the pavement and with 14V to the bulb.

yea....with full voltage an oncoming driver would be blind.....not dazzled. i've never seen a beam this powerful.....and it's only a 6" lens.
i've read the cornering pattern is over 200' wide on the road.....absolutely the best side to side lamp ever designed.

these will be switched and triggered off the high beam circuit.....i'm DYING to see these on the road......the Oscar lamps will be coming in from England pretty soon i think......i'm very excited about these lamps....and i'm very lucky to have become friends with Jackson......he has a large stock of these too.....NOS in the box.....both kinds.
