The headlights are very poor and even unsafe on dark wet nights. as purchased the lights were too high. with the lights aimed lower, it is barely ok on most nights but unsafe on wet, dark nights. i have purchased aftermarket bulbs but they were only slightly improved. the high beams are still too high to light the road, but they do illuminate the trees. a european cutoff beam pattern would help too.
