    Not if you've ever driven with both. It's clear how poor the Q45s are in output.

    That's why I wanted to see someone else do it :)
    The overall design of the Q45's lights seems like a waste of engineering time. The first time I saw it I thought it was an LED design - in which case it almost made sense.
