Caterham high intensity LED headlights option - Worth it?

I declined the LED upgrade option when it became apparent that all Caterham's now come as standard with the single set of LED rear lights on the wheel arches. It was the lack of rear visibility of braking that worried me about the normal lights. Plus I didn't want the reversing lights in the rear panel by the number plate.

I so rarely use my car at night that the standard headlights weren't often an issue.

That said, they are awful, and the difference is (ahem) night and day. Do it really depends how you use the car.

Agree with the amount of night usage, however the brighter the headlights, the more likely to be seen...so just by that rationale, I'd say upgrade (although not the £££ Caterham ones).

I have the same 'Andy Hobbs' ones as yourself, and they're excellent, especially for the money!

Yeah I agree, I always used to run with mine on, I now use the DRLs instead.
