I really don't have THE answer, but I know that when Saab was designing the 9-5, they tested a number of different head light setups and types to find the best one. Possibly these lights offer more than adequate illumination and cost much less than other types of lenses. Just a thought. But I do agree with you. My parents A6 has some sort of special lights (but they don't have the clear lenses) and the lighting pattern is pretty much perfect. Has anyone found the 9-5 lights to be too dim or inadequate?
