    I've seen plenty of HID setups where yes they "put out more light", but then again it puts it out only half the distance of my "shitty" Sliverstars... I've ridden in a few cars with HIDs that you couldnt see for shit what was coming up on the road.

    Current Cars:
    08 Honda Ruckus - Stunt Machine
    93 Subaru Impreza L - DD/ Winter beater
    90 Honda CRX - Project car
    90 Honda CRX Dx - Burnt (R.I.P.) - Racecar

    Past Cars: 85 Chevy C-10, 87 Dodge D-50, 91 Honda Prelude Si, 91 Buick Regal, 91 Acura Integra Ls, 87 Mazda RX-7, 90 Honda Civic Si, 91 Honda Civic Si, 89 Chevy S-10, 91 Honda Crx Hf, 91 Acura Integra Rs, 95 Subaru Impreza L, 92 Acura Integra GSR, 89 Mazda RX-7 (LT1), 88 Mazda RX-7, 92 Civic Cx, 87 Mazda RX-7 TII

        you couldnt be more wrong. Have you done any research on this at all? Reflector style housings are designed to work with a certain light output. If you flood the housing with light its going to reflect in every direction instead of the one its meant to.

        Does it feel like you are pounding your head into the brick wall over and over again and yet nothing changes?

            that would make sense being as hid's can put out as much as 3x more light. Is the road 3 times brighter? Where do you think the rest of that light goes?

                            disabled my auto headlights by putting a resistor in the harness where the photocell for the lights would plug in. the drls still work. I decided to buy ricer 2500k halogen bulbs instead of HIDs. just soyou guys won't bitch.

                                    I'll still probably do HIDs. Found the dirty yellow 2500ks on ebay for 17 bucks before I knew I could turn off my auto headlights tho, so I just ordered them.

                                          i think that would be the difference between quality and china.
