night breakers do throw the light further, much improved over what ever was in there before

bottoms of the H1 bulbs dipped beam looked brown possibly overheated perhaps this dimmed the performance.

When I first drove in the dark with `em I thought my adjustment was miles out, o/s lights up the centre white lines

Most of my driving is on unlit, twisty, rural-roads and I`ve been horrified by how poor the dipped headlamps are on my T reg. Miggy; I bought some better dipped-lamps (the high-beams always seems good enough).....the 'Osram: 50% brighter' Halfrauds bulbs did make a bit of difference, but what made the greatest improvement was adjusting the headlamp`s electric level-switch to it`s absolutely lowest setting, which does significantly improve the 'view' of the nearside kerb area when on dip.

My M reg. L.R Discovery with it`s completely std. 60/55 H4 lamp units has soooooo much better`a dip beam pattern.....so much in fact, that I`d swear it has twice the wattage of the Miggy`s dipped lamps. :-?

Yes your descrption was spot on and it only took seconds. Even the n/s behind battery was relativly easy too.
