I've just put some osram night breakers in the bus and some osram "cool intense" bulbs in the awful Volvo v50 lights. The Volvo bulbs have a 5k output and have a very clear bright effect with no flashing from oncoming traffic 
N°3? Better for airflow and no interference with the main beams....
Not sure about the grill and I'm certainly not so sure about cutting into my, sorry our grill... @RangeRoller dt

1st photo is good if you want it to overheat.View attachment 329043n°1? Hmmmm... Airflow

Yeah, I was thinking that also
I prefer to be able to see without straining lolI suppose it's a multitude of things. preferences, environment,

Understood completely, the old headlamps in the Volvo were terrible and I suppose after nearly 20yr they would be.. The new headlamps were, Errr well better but not great compared to the 38's dipped beams but they definitely better with the latest bulbs. It's actually more tiring I found driving with insufficient lighting
Also one of the joys of getting older.. takes slightly longer to change focus, eyes aren't so good in low light etc.. happens to us allUnderstood completely, the old headlamps in the Volvo were terrible and I suppose after nearly 20yr they would be..

Socks?
so, only two invisible cuts to our grill @RangeRoller and no other mods needed. Not even the bumper is touched I've also got them damn near where I wanted them in the last picture out of the three I'd posted yesterday 
What the!!!!!

Human eyes are 'tuned' to a certain range of colour temperature (5000 - 6500°K), barring sight impairments that is the range you can see most detail in, the old tungsten lamps are in the 2700°K range, tungsten-halogen are in the 2800 - 3400°K range, so to get the same level of visibility (with a shift in colour rendition) you'd have to put more power into the light source to get the same level of visible detail as with the higher colour temperature lighting. Its not really a fashion, just 'science' helping out.
BTW, in low light conditions, you can see more detail using peripheral vision than looking directly at something, that's because there are more cone receptors around the edges of your retina and more rods in the centre.

a good read on the different colour temps
