Sounds like a real bummer, I rather like the look of the box-eye model but the lighting situation doesn't sound good.
[size=78%]My fox-eye has two H4 twin filament cold white bulbs (replacement upgrades) I think they are 80/50watt, not quite as bright as some of the HID's but they are a fair bit brighter/whiter than my car. Mind you I tend not to ride often at night because the bike just for fun I don't use it as workhorse.[/size]
Mine really is mainly used as a commuter, so same old route 5 days a week, but i recently put some self adhesive yellow film over the headlight lens to differentiate me from other vehicles, and i must say it appears to be working rather well. I've probably lost a tiny bit of light by dong this, but the benefits kind of outweigh that.
It's still just the BMW drivers that i'm only guessing have one way tinted windscreens fitted the wrong way round that tend to be the most predictably consistent arseholes, and couldn't spot a firework in front of their face let alone another road user. :look
