Beg to differ all you want, first the light is formed in a completely different manner and location in the housing than a halogen light, so you are not able to focus it correctly. Your saving grace might be the E code lamp housings. As I stated, I tried the HIDs in my projevtors, and even though a couple people in my cul-de-sac said they weren't blinding, they also weren't giving me the nice sharp cutoff.
My nice sharp cutoff was gone and bad hot spots in the middles. I started with 6000k bulbs, but they were way too blue, almost couldn't see down the street to drive with them. I have no idea how people drive with 8000ks... The above image is with 5000k, but when I try HIDs again, I intend to use 4300ks.
Seriously, anybody using HIDs in standard reflector light housings is creating glare and blinding other drivers. PERIOD. You are completely unable to put the light where you want it. And worse, throwing a crap ton of light right in front of you is also causing your eyes to close down some, REDUCING your ability to see! I hate being blinded, and do my best not to blind others. Some of those big dumb BRO trucks with HIDs in the foglights make me wish I had missiles to knock them off the fricking road.
For the record, in a Neon forum, others with these headlight housings have used HIDs with better success than I had. I will either retrofit some stock housings with a great quality bi-xenon, or replace the projectors in these for a better bi-xenon. I have no idea how the cops don't stop all the cars and trucks running about with HIDs and blue lights...
