I have Cibie Z-beams on my car.  I rather like the throw pattern of
them better than the Bobi.  The pattern is Z shaped so that the angle
is lower straight ahead of you and a little higher to the right, which
I think gives you better illumination of the road without shining
lights in the eyes of the driver ahead of you.  I don't think their
different enough that the Highway Patrol could tell I have them (unless
the Highway Patrol is on USENET :-), and if I get caught I'll just
put the old lights back in.

Of course we have backup tapes.  Do you want last year or the
