    Who cares about projector lens this, cut-off that, glare this & glare that ..

    I have a drop-in HID kit so that makes me rice by a couple peoples standards, who cares. IMO, my HIDs w/out projectors is still brighter than my halogens .. maybe 17 years ago Honda made poor headlights in the CRX?

    If it doesn't make power then don't spend too much money on it, like this whole "retrofit" do-hickey trend.

    Well with Lexus, OEM HIDs are self-leveling. For instance on startup, my HIDs go up and down, leveling themselves. If I have a load, they adjust.
    THe newer models have Adaptive steering, where they turn 15 degrees on the drivers side and 5% of the passenger side.

    HIDs actually have less glare and are less painful on the eyes than halogens and help reduce eye fatigue when driving.

    The LS 600h L will be the first production car with LED headlights. LED headlights are the future and in 20 years, all cars will have them. THey emit more light, are more efficient and are so small, you can design headlamps anyway you want.

    8k, 10k and 12k kits are useless to the driver and are a PITA for oncoming traffic.

    I don't see how drop in HIDs are rice. THey are technically for off-road use only but at the proper temperature, 4100k to a lil over 6000k, they are very useful.

    Once you have HID in that range, its very very hard to drive a car at night without them. They do make that much of a difference.

    Those HID look BULBS wreck havoc. They burn harnesses, are not like HIDs period. You cannot get a bulb hot enough from a stock assembly.

    THus why HID kits have BALLASTS to heat them up.
