actually, yeah, come to think of it, they'd be better on the lows...  but,
as you say, you would need one for each light, that comes to about 800 bucks
or so?  eek, i'm going to wait, or maybe find one in junk yard?  you think
those junk yard people know what these are?  say you find a wrecked lexus,
MB, or some other car (i know some american cars have them too), and yank
the control unit from it.  i'm sure it would be much cheaper than a new one.
just a thought..
