Focus and pattern depends entirely on the quality of the lens, and in a 
$9.95 pair that includes the bulbs, welll.  Has anyone ever tried ?

A good pattern for the US (LHD) will have a wider dispersion on the right 
than the left. A "one size fits all" lamp will not and a RHD pattern will 
be baaaad.

Am pestering Sylvania to produce a SilverStar in a 5006/5.75" PAR46 but so 
far no luck. Suspect the OEM wiring may be an issue.
