![]() The focal points of actual xenon bulbs most certainly will not be designed for the stock reflector housing or will be of poor rebased bulb quality resulting in light scatter, when the focal point is blocked, placed too far forwards or backwards ( talking millimeters or even less), or sitting in a spot where it's not designed to be placed then what tends to happen is excessive and infinite light trajectory paths, see below : photos):Ī) It doesn't matter if you have your mega bright xenon bulbs "aimed properly", or even aimed lower at the ground OR aimed directly to the ground for that matter, nor does it matter if you "tested" your xenon/hid kit while driving in another car to make sure you're not blinding someone, you will see what you want to see, everyone else will see, well, nothing depending where they're situated from you, cause you'll still be blinding them. To any of you who put HID's in to your stock halogen housings and are at least wondering or care some bit, here are a couple of simple facts that you need to know to (I will be using a DSM for ex. And then I remembered a member here asking if they should do this as well so.

The conversation hit a brick wall at this point, having a dad that is a lighting expert I thought I would try and tell him what he had told me on the subject and why it was going to look bad etc. that was when I'd asked him what he really knew about this kind of automotive lighting. then I'd asked why he'd bought this HID lighting and he'd said that he'll be able to see better because they're 8000k (which is terribly incorrect) and it looks so much cooler. Originally I'd asked if he had the proper housings for these lights and he said no, but they'll be fine because he'll aim them properly. I ran into a conversation (on facebook of all places.) about someone who had bought a headlamp HID kit and a fog lamp HID kit for their car.
