Remember that is just one light; now imagine both firing off at the same time. I sure it at least doubles the light output.

I modded the cut off shield. That is part of the projector that allows the light to pass throught the lense. I also switched out the fresnel lesnse with a clear one.

That's a cool mod! Is the new lens going to be reliable? Is the light still sealed? Can you think of any down side to this mod?

I don't know if your swap plan from the other thread will work for those of us in Canada...

I'm sure it would, although I have never seen the light output of the Canadian headlights. A lense is a lense, just better quality and it is clear, thus the better light output. I learned form the best on hidplanet. And unless you don't know what you are doing then becarefull...
