First off nice thread.
Thanks! Wish I had hoped to actually contribute more but honestly after you sum up the car is a joy to drive, I have had no issues, and I'm leaving it stock for now, not much more to say!

If I am ever pulled over I will be able to show the police officer that what I have done to the headlights has not diminished the safety of the vehicle. I have a few officer friends in Canada and they have said I will probably still get a ticket but will win in court as I can prove I have actually made the safety of the vehicle better.
Most likely, when the time comes, I will replace the OEM bulbs with aftermarket of some sort, but not sure I'll go brighter. I'm quite happy with the throw of the OEM ones.

What I really want is built-in HUD night vision!
