Right now the road itself is lit up very well but it's hard to see in the distance and to the sides.



No idea, it's a standard H11 housing that used to have a standard OEM H11 bulb. I think the light output is a little lacking compared to some earlier posters' H4s because projectors basically waste half the light output with the cutoff plate, if I remember correctly. Halogens do better since the filament is small and doesn't block as much light reflected off the plate. Definitely do not buy the "40W" kits for this application unless it's for foglights or DRLs.
I like the pics you posted of the light output for the bulbs you purchased. This is a fixed High, or Low Beam bulb correct? You mentioned you are using them with a projector, but you wouldn't recommend them without the projector in a reflector housing? Thanks for your feedback and input.
