That fog on the headlights restricts the amount of light you are actually able to use at night genius

yes you are right.And that was the main reason why I changed them.My visibility is a lot better now. There was actually a gap between the light and the bumper not much but I used a spacer to correct that and then did a minor adjustment on the light pattern.

Did you put the spacer between the light and the bracket that slides into the metal brace on the car?
