HID conversion look

[ocbaud]

looks good

but good job blinding everyone in front of you


putting HID bulbs in halogen housings is really crappy. yeah, it will increase the light output, but it also will spread it out like no other.

HID's are supposed to be used in a focused beam, thats why you see cars that come with them stock, they have a very very pronounced, from very far away.

unless you have someway to focus the bulbs(as in projectors that are meant for HID's) then you are going to continue to blind everyone on the road.
