Thanks BD. I might just try one and see then! A pretty cheap assembly anyway on the Kinlon so nothing much to lose; if I have to replace it I can go for something better with a ballast resistor, fuse etc., whatever is required. The beam at night seems fine as it is on open roads, until you go above 60 kph or so, then you just can't see enough ahead and that is when the big 'roos jump out onto you! From your experience, would the beam spread be the same? I need ideally a wider spread too because of those critturs sitting in amongst the roadside trees on narrower roads near home; I had thought the spread was designed into the front glass so I might need a different unit anyway?
