I don't see why my comment needs to be laid aside, unless you didn't really 
read what I said:
 
+ Yes and no.  We're not talking about "no expense, effort and appearance
+ spared" rallying or racing systems.  If you're into forest roads and
+ closed circuits and you don't care what the car looks like - I
+ absolutely agree with you.  You never see rally cars fitted with high
+ power bulbs in stock lights.

That, I believe, does concede the essential points about geometry and 
positioning.  For about the eighth time, I'm discussing a compromise which
you are ruling out of court because you don't have the faintest idea what 
I'm talking about - your posts (bilateral symmetry in particular) clearly 
demonstrate that you have no experience of the type of Euro light fitted to my 
car.
