I think it has a worse effect in a standard headlight rather than a projector. He may not even notice the difference.

Re: (soulpwr)

The difference between 4.3k and 6k is only like 200 lumens, less than 10% less output, hardly noticable.

The look from outside will be slightly noticeable while cockpit isn't. I upgraded as well and it didn't effect visibilty.
