Very good result Peter that sounds like a worthwhile mod for you high speed night time pilots.

UPDATE:
we went out on Friday evening for supper with the LogMog crew. A good pub and it was good to catch up.
I'm not a regular "noggin" participant, I prefer driving to talking, but this was a run across the New Forest.
It was a wet old night, but Tatka is waterproof... I got rather wet running from the car to the door!
Pn the return it was pitch dark and throwing it down.
The new headlamps showed what they are capable: the dip beam pattern is good, with a solid pool of light along the kerb and up into the verge.
Main beam is something else: brilliant white light, cats eyes glowing brightly as far as I could see.
Overall every bit as good as the LED lights on any modern car. I can see why MMC selected them for the Plus Six.
Expensive, yes. But possibly the vest upgrade I've made to the car.
There is a photo of the light unit in the first post on the thread.
Thanks for the update, Peter. That's exactly what I was hoping for. Coming back from France last week was a bit hairy in the dark & wet, and at this time of year, it could be a very cost effective life saver..! But where to get them, I wonder..? Right....where's Google...

It's very pleasing when you get a result like this. Of course there is a downside  the brighter the lights on main, the brighter the reflection from road signs. Often twisty minor roads are the worst with the multitude of large reflective signs we have nowadays. This effect is very noticeable with LED headlamps on our Mini but worse given the night into day effect with them on Morton. Wouldn't be without them now though
