Poor optics. I had a hard time adjusting my plastic headlights because of the scattered beam. The lenses were yellow and I'm sure the reflector wasn't in like-new condition by any means, but the light output was not good. I use e-codes now, and the difference was amazing, and I still use 55/60 bulbs. I wanted to use 80/100 bulbs in the e-codes because the metal/glass construction will safely allow it, but I just haven't seen the need to redo the wiring yet. I'm still impressed by ~20 year old e-code headlights, and I've had them on the car for about a year. The beam cutoff on the top is very sharp, and there's a very noticable hot spot that makes aiming them really easy.
