Hello!
My car (Suzuki Jimny 3, not available in USA) currently has a pair of old Hella Comet 450 spread beam driving lamps installed on the front bumper. They are fine. I use them as additional high beam lamps in both on-road and off-road driving.
However I got an idea to replace them with better ones.
I was looking at Hella Comet FF 450 and Comet FF 550.
However, as a layman, I can not discern the practical differences between their beam patterns (dispersion, strength, reach) when comparing them in official Hella catalogues.
Here are the specifications:
(Look up in the "Light output" tab in the lower section of each page)

Hella Comet FF 550:

I would like to be told the actual differences by someone who knows how to read those light distribution diagrams.
How much and which benefits would I enjoy when upgrading from 450 to FF 450?
Would it be worthwhile to go for FF 550 instead of FF 450? They use the exact same bulb.
