I can't say how this would go. The focal point of the parabolic reflector in the assembly you have now was designed to be exactly on the filament of the bulb meant to go there. Even if it's a little off, the brightness might not be that good. Given the really high price and PITA installation, I'd try better bulbs first, like Silverstars, which really ARE better in my experience. I had them in my Euro retrofitted round headlights and I have them in my Euros. The cheap bulbs are "blue", that's all. I've read that GE bulbs are almost as good as Silverstars and cheaper (even available at Mart Le Wall).
