Cool. Out of curiosity, is the 'E46' just a model number or are they supposed to be for E46 BMWs?

I get what you're trying to do about diffusing the cut-off. I had my front fog lamps on recently and felt they brightened the immediate front of the road so well that my eyes adjusted to that brightness and made the mid- and far-range of the dipped beam look less bright. Obviously in reality the strength of dipped beam didn't change at all, it was just my eyes adjusting to the brightness of the fogs, which I felt hindered rather than helped my overall visibility.
