I have the Vision Plus Hellas on my '92.  They have every bit as sharp a

horizontal cutoff as the factory originals did in my '80 911 (European

version).  The Vision Plus's are not as bright, but they still have the low

wattage bulbs in them.  They do provide more light to the right to light up

the signs, etc.  I like them very much and won't go back to the stock

halogens.
