OK, I see what you are saying. It didn't make sense to me how it would degrade the lense. I am very picky on how my light projection as well, but I would rater protect my investment than waste the money for these lights. I have terrible luck with rocks hitting me anyways.

I am still pretty sure that a set of euros with the film and a good set of bulbs will put out more light than the us spec stockers. If you run across some of the film, let me know.

BTW, how thick are yours?
