Adding HID to high beams?

[_Christian_]

Okay, people really are off about projectors. Projectors actually CUT DOWN on your light output. This is because it concentrates it down to a single beam and has to go through 2 seperate glasses...instead of 1 on the reflector housing. Have you have done a projector swop with Halogens?? You have them on your reflector housing them switch to projectors. You get about 60-80% of the light output you did with the reflector housing. Having HID's in a reflector housing does not blind people nor does it make you a ricer. If it did, then the majority of luxury cars with factory HID's are ricers...lol. What blinds people is when they have mis-aligned headlights that are aimed too high. This can happen with projectors too.

So to sum up, adding HID's to your hi beam will give you about twice the light output versus your projector lo beams with HID's.

Halogen reflector housings scatter the light output. Even if there is less output from projectors there is still more usable light, because the light isn't spread out all over the place. Putting HID's in halogen reflector housings DOES blind people and not just because they are adjusted too high. Have you looked at the cutoffs on these setups? Adjusting the headlights up or down doesn't fix the problem. Most factory xenon/hid cars have projectors. Those that don't, have reflector housings designed for HIDs. Halogen housings are designed for halogen beams, not HIDs.
