Yeh, they are halogen, and they are very bright (and, yes bluish when coming
at you.) But, it is not really the construction of the headlights. Lens and
reflector are not different. It's the bulb. They are very "in" in Germany,
almost every Mercedes and BMW (old and new) have them now, self imposed
status thing, I guess. I can buy them for my D*dge Caravan (LBC support
vehicle) for $25.00 each. I just don't see the need. Haven't checked on
what it would cost for my MGB.

I beleive they are a halogen light but the lense and reflectoe oare
of a new
design. They are extremely intense. Of course a lot of people have
them on
cars because they think it's "cool" not as a functional item...
