i mean.. even for regular lights, they are going to be godawful... they are designed for car shows, not for use on the roads. Without the diffusers, the light doesn't get aimed at all.. so half the light is gonna go up (and into other drivers' eyes).. meaning in order to aim them low enough so as not to blind people, you're gonna be pointing the majority of the light right in front of your bumper, not down the road. Output from the stock headlight is gonna be sort of flatter and wider than the ebay one.. so even if the pure percentage of light that gets out of the non-diffused cover is higher, the percent of the light that you can use will be smaller.

cliffs: retro into euro style > stock > horse manure > euro style
