Low beam is great, but Hi beam is weak. The brightness is fine, but the pattern is pretty bad. Maybe this is just a trait of the Bosch H4 unit that the Benz uses, that it doesn't like the position of the hi beam lamp or something.

US lenses (with DOT aiming nipples) or Euro lenses? Big difference.
