Maybe the extra 9 watts of power has something to do with it, but I have NO problems when it rains/snows and the road is wet. I know what your saying about that because I had the Cuzo bulbs in a while back, 80w lows/100w highs, and when the road was wet and/or it was raining they were scary, couldn't even tell they were on. Those bulbs, the Cuzos, were bad ass when the road was dry though, but never did the highs in lows on those, bet thats something to see when you driving
