Especially when it's completely the wrong lens in front of it so vision is actually worse than the orginal bulb ;)

...but it looks good and blinding to other drivers! :doh:

When you switch to your hi beam, the bulb itself moves to shoot it at a higher angle. Just now shooting at a higher angle to give you a hi beam.

Is that how aftermarket kits work?

I know with oem applications a shield operated by a single solenoid is raised and lowered controlling the output.

That is what happens. Essentially allowing the light to be 'thrown' farther down the road.

Unless you have some type of housing like an OEM 3 Series that is how it is going to work.
