Thanks all, for your input.

I ordered the kit.
I'll post back once it's installed, with photos of the beam pattern.

My primary aim here is to reduce amps draw on my alternator-deleted, battery-supported electrical system. At 3.2 amps vs. 8.x amps for halogens (totals for two bulbs), this will very nearly triple my available run time for headlights.

After a careful reading and rereading of the specs I expect a good improvement in brightness also. These are supposedly 2000 lumens per "bulb", vs 1000 for standard halogens. Improvement will be easy to verify or disprove, once it's installed.
