The Coupe's were extremely good for halogens IMHO, consistent with with their being rated highly in (if memory serves) AutoCar and in a French car magazine I read at the time. The 2008 C350's are so good that I love driving at night: it's good with normal beams but truly like daylight if I can turn the high beams on: they are _that_ good. The BRZ's xenons pale (no pun intended) in comparison. Love my car but not its headlights.

You are right a lot of modern HIDs and even LED and halogen headlights on low end cars are complete bullshit. When I drove a Gen 3 Integra in the 90's the halogen projectors were unbelievably good, puts a lot of cars these days to shame.
The Hella HID projectors and Hella halogen projector fogs combo on my old Mk5 Golf GTI were pretty good also. I won't even mention the garbage fog lights on the twins; PSX24W like are you fucking kidding me?
