Thanks guys.

The lights are fine now, not sure if the globe was faulty or seated incorrectly but the new globe fixed the problem and I now get a nice strong pencil beam from the spotty. I did notice that it had a blue tinge to it so when I need to replace the globes I'll probably go with 5000k at 55W.

For the price I paid I'm happy with them, for now. I know they're not the best around but I'm not doing a lot of night driving and what I am doing is just some highway stuff. Once I get up north I'll reassess and upgrade or add as needed.

Cheers
Lon
