    The former has a 'v' shaped cutoff, and the latter has a horizontal cutoff.
    they both were H4s, 5 1/4".

            hellas are alot easier for me to smoke, but i think the bosch lights look better smoked. the glass seems to be a bit more clear looking.
            they all suk and break when you rearend the car infront of you.

                unless your name is curt, and you rear-end a stupid lady that cuts you off and slams on her brakes. Then your harness breaks, but somehow not the lense. Lucky bastid.

                        Ive been in cars with both Hella and Bosch lights and they light output was identical, at least I couldnt tell a difference.

                            mmmm, i'm leaning toward bosch. he has two sets of both (i think - i can't keep track) but i think I remember him saying that he was relieved that they didn't break, and he likes his bosch's more than the hellas. if you need to know for sure PM him - E30 Groupie. I just try not to rear-end people. haha.

                                The bosch ones proved very durable. :) Didnt even scratch, just pushed it back and down, hehe.

                                    i would say that the Bosch lights are better...they are almost identical except Bosch uses a metal reflector, and Hella uses a plastic reflector.

                                            Hella's have plastic reflectors for the lowbeams that get burnt more easily than the bosch metal reflectors.

                                            My is has hellas that are burnt to shit and light as much as the fogs. My 316i edition had bosch smileys, they were awesome.
