More of a focus beam and projects further out.. The stock light was just being used as a day time running light and the bar would come on as a night light not pointed straight forward to blind traffic. Ive been using its for 5ish years now and have not had any issues from the cops or other vehicles flashing their lights at me.

 

Night shot, about as much output as a 5 watt led bulb in the stock head light housing

 

 

ill see if i can get one tonight....if i remember
