   to answer your question, no not really
   
   maybe a little, but its not enough to make a huge noticeble difference

   ive found that in a mk1 they're really good but in a mk2 they're shite, opinions are based with or with out hid's fitted

   think dipped is bad because theres no motor on them, so cant adjust the height... in terms of full beam, its spot on!

   when i got my vtr mk1 they were already fitted and in my opinion sh*t but i replaced the bulbs for some off ebay, just simple Xenon bulbs and that did make a fair amount of difference. My m8 just picked up a mk1 too now with normal lights and bulbs fitted and yeh tbh my angels are better, but i think that could be down too just the bulbs i fitted.
