How worthwhile is this?

Even with the extra bright sealed beams I struggle to see exactly where my road meets the highway until I start to turn. They are focused straight ahead without much side to side. Also while the high beam isn't too bad (any higher and I start to run out of light) the low beam is too close to the truck.

It also makes me nervous about seeing deer especially now that the rut is about ready to start...

I found these:

I saw a marked improvement when I installed the LMC ones. Clear lense with no texturing, very bright. Thats one of my next upgrades to the BII.

I have seen those too, I wish there was a way to know if one was better than the other. I like the more stock look of the Hellas...

Did you get the LMC relay harness too?
