    You are right about the less output to not blind oncoming traffic but then you have less usable light for riding at night.

    My low beams are pretty much worthless no matter what type of bulb I put in them.


    NEW PROBLEM:

    They are fine and produce constant light with the lights on and the car not cranked, but when the vehicle is running the lights flicker.


    I'm about to say fuck this shit..
    Got a MINI? Don't talk to me.

    FUCK your FADS

    You need a canceller kit for all Mini's. The factory Canbus system kicks in when the vehicle is running. The flickering you are seeing the the vehicle's CPU turning power on and off.
