W126 KATMACs in, and...

Well, they LOOK cool. I'm not all that impressed with the light output yet, especially on low beam. Granted I just did the quickie alignment against my garage door from 25' away, but the H4's that they provided seem a bit wimpy, just not all that bright and I don't car for the blue 'tint'. The pattern is not nearly as tight as my past Hella non-DOT H4 replacements were on other vehicles that I've had in the past, but maybe that is to be expected of a Taiwanese knockoff.

Anyone experience similar results and replaced the provided H4 bulbs with good results?

On the plus side, the H3 fog pattern seems nice, and I'll probably put my clear H3 bulbs in to use all the time. I'd kinda like to hook up the city lights as DRLs, but I doubt that they'd be visible.

get some osrams silverstars (european models) they are the brightest you can get for standard halogen bulbs. If you want really bright youll have to go with real HID kits which are pricey but worth the cash.

here is a link to them, these are straight from the Uk.
