Kerplod , with regards to the old Golf , it may well have had a patterned glass lens . My old Cibie Z beams had an amazing cut off & zero dazzle .
Modern lights have plastic covers that degrade & scatter light output & continue to deteriorate until polished / replaced .
When testing vans I always ensure the top of the beam pattern is defiantely below the top mark of the beam setter , especially if I find the driver has used the internal headlight leveller to lower the headlight aim .
