HID's and stock headlight housings
I was reading a thread on another forum by a guy who says he is SAE certified in gaseous discharge lighting, and headlight design. He said that the HID bulbs are longer and because of that, the "arc" isn't refected in the reflectors correctly and it ruins the headlight beam.
Those of you who have put real HID's in your stock headlight housings, have you noticed any problems with that?

Re: HID's and stock headlight housings
nope. the light output seems better and wider to me. Only thing i have noticed is that the high beams are just slightly dimmer than low beams. :LOL:

Re: HID's and stock headlight housings
Hmmm. I wonder if it just depends on the car?
