Back in the days with round headlights, I could have written volumes. These days, each car has a different lense. Having lived in Europe for a few years, I bacme accustomed to having good lights at night. Even in France when they required yellow headlights, objects down the road and shoulder would be picked up at a safe distance at 60mph.

I only used Ecodes on my 98 V70 and what a good thing that was. They came in Scantec boxes from FCP, lense with seal and clips.

The only problem I had with the lenses was that both of them had 45 degree angle cutoffs on the right side. Meaning that the beam cutoff was flat from the left to right, but the right edge went up 45 degrees. This is what you want from the right lense but not from the left. Both of those cutoffs merge down the road about 1/4 mile, and will light up the cabin on a semi. Not very nice to truckers when you are in the left lane and gaining (which I almost always am).

Solution was to put a piece of black electrical tape over the outside of the left lense to eliminate the angle. Traffic signs were still lit by the right beam and the trucker's cabin no longer glowed like daylight.

I only use stock headlight bulbs BTW. It was so nice to drive at night with low beams and be able to see. High beams were like daytime.
