I just can't understand why anyone would want to upgrade the xenons (and related corona rings) in this car.

Halogens, okay, but the auto-leveling xenons have the best light coverage of every car I've owned. And I think I said that in my past 2-3 cars - the difference here is not only brightness, but also the light pattern (while driving uphill, downhill, or turning the wheel).

And regarding fog lamps - the point of fogs is to be a somewhat dim light. If not, why would France previously mandate then allow YELLOW lights. Because it helps in foggy conditions (although sealed-beam lights aren't even 1/100 of the devices that current xenons are).

Otherwise you're driving around with rice/ghetto lamps. I fully support the UK's decision to crack down on this crap.
