We're all wondering.

That said, my old weaksauce OEM halogens + fogged up lenses barely provided much illumination at all.
OEM halogens are a joke, they have a beam little different than old sealed beams that were required by law in the USofA, starting in the 1940s. Look at the beam pattern in Hellas. The low beam has such a sharp cutoff you can see the line across the road. It reaches farther down the road on the right. European bulbs are opposite, lighting the 'kerbside'. On high it's white light wall to wall and 80 feet in the air. Bulbs range from 55-85 watts.
