8000K hid's are way too high. You are actually going to lose light output. Light output does decrease quite a bit once you get above 6000K. Anything above 6000K I would say is primarily for looks and not light output, and by not having either factory projectors or aftermarket headlight projectors, the HID light is going to be scattered all over the road since it is just exposed in the housing. I will bet your factory halogens will light up the road better than the new HID setup.

Projector/Ellipsoid - The principle is similar to that used in a slide projector. An parabolic lens (reflector) directs the light to a focusing lens (projector) that aims and projects it. A shield positioned between the reflector and projector provides the desired DOT, ECE, JDM cutoff.
