that's camera, it is hating life with the night time shots set on general

that will be very impossible without reflectors designed for hids. you will need to do projector conversion to get a very sharp cut off. i did a set about 2 years ago, and this was the outcome






that conversion consisted of valeo projectors ($150 dollars a set) and tyc projector housings (200 at the time of purchase) and about 2 days of fab work

 

you want a cutoff like this:

Thats on my car, 5300k color

 

3600K HID and 8000K HID.

 

im getting the 8000k when i get my car..

fritchard how did you get that cutoff? do you have a car that comes with stock hids? projectors? i want thatttt lol that cutoff is so awesome.

 

those are stock projectors from a 2001+ Mazda Miata. They aren't stock HID, but when I did the conversion after seeing the results I had no reason to switch since the light output and cutoff was extremely good for halogen projectors.

I previously had an older style front end on my car that did not use projectors, but instead used a standard halogen reflector housing with H4 bulbs. I converted that to HID as well using shielded HID bulbs to reduce glare. The cutoff on those was pretty good as well, but nowhere near as good as the projectors. I might have some pics handy, I'll see if I can still find them.

 

this is about the only pic that I could find of when I had the H4 HIDs

its shot in a parking lot against a co-workers car so its not the best shot, but there is no glare with this setup as well.

 

thats the 8000k? im you basically need projectors to get such a clean cut off.

 

mine are 5300k, VERY white, lots of light on the road

 

First off, stock HID's are 43-4500K. Its the projectors and the lenses that make them look blueish/purpliesh color. If you have plastic headlight housings youre gonna get glare. For best results youll need a projector-style headlight preferably with glass. Do you know what size bulb you need?

 

not all, many european cars are now using phillips ultinon bulbs, which are 6000k
