Lighting
One thing that most pre-2000 cars need help with is lighting - especially here in the US.
Our DOT approved lighting is exceptionally poor, with lamps designed to disperse light at
short range. On top of this, the "standard" lights are 35W low/55W high. For some
reason, the US has never really caught up to quality lighting for cars, especially
compared to Euro-spec cars where adverse weather conditions are much more
common than they are here.

Having owned a set of Hello euro-spec (or e-code as they are now nicknamed)
headlamps on my 86 Shelby Charger Turbo, I knew I wanted them on my MR2 as well. I
found a set a couple of years ago on E-bay for a good price, and from another seller
there I bought a set of 80W low/100W high Xenon H4 bulbs. I now have about twice the
light output, get clean white light that's aimed VERY well.

You can see the sharp cutoff lines in the pictures below.
Above left is low beams - above right is high beams.
Both pictures taken from outside the car standing at the rear bumper.

Notice the sharp straight line the headlights cast on the bushes on the
right side of the picture.
These three pictures also show the very clear patterns the Hella headlamps emit. The
picture on the far right shows the 15 degree upward "tick" designed to help illuminate the
roadside better.
Notice in the picture on the right that at safe following distance on the freeway, my beam
pattern illuminates the rear sheet metal of the car ahead, but does not glare up into the
passenger compartment. This means less blinding glare for the driver of the car ahead of
me, even with the increased light output of the 80/100 bulbs.

The center and right side pictures show the bean pattern along a retaining wall. Note that is
barely rises as it gets farther away from the car. Again, this limits glare for oncoming traffic,
yet still provide for superior lighting compared to OEM or DOT headlamps.
