    Low Beam (I know they arent aligned, just did this for comparison)
    CAM00134-1_91683a47b8d62a46e5f5dcb725a9069804e62344.jpg

    High beam (notice how much better the FX-R is up top)

    Low beam on road (its nothing short of amazing)

    Super wide beam

    Dont have any pics of the high beams yet, but they literally light up the road for miles it seems.
