            I say shit to people with hids's and non proper housings all the time. It looks like complete ass and does nothing for being able to see better at night. It does how ever make the car obnoxious and unsafe. But as long as you get the fancy blue light, right? Thats 3/4 the reason why i stopped cruising, slow paced and constantly getting fucking shined with crap hid setups

            some cars will get more light on the road but at the expense of other drivers saftey. If you cant be standing outside your vehicle with your headlights on and look down at them with out hurting your eyes you fucked up.

            This goes for about 95% of people with those scat ass mks hid's they buy for 100 dollars and put in every fucking light hole they can find.

              you do realise that did not disprove what i said, correct? I said the bulbs will reflect the same way. Halogens do not have a cut off. I do not expect hids in my stock housings to have a sharp cut off. It will give me more light, and i could give 2 shits less about the person driving in front of me.

              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.

                    ^^ Do they make any aftermarket HID housings for older RX-7's?

                      I don't think anyone does for the original pop ups on the FC or FD...... but I am sure some that offer the flush mount setups can be had with actual HID housings

                      This is a guess, as all i have is a sweet sealed beam conversion

                      I wanted to convert my pickup to HID's because one of my headlight brackets is broke.... but after reading up, and seeing the joke of them i declined

                        Now I feel bad for having HIDs. But, in my defense, I have gone to a parking lot when it is pitch black and then turned them on and stood in front of the car. I checked almost every angle and could stare at them no problem. It does indeed depend on the housing. It helps that mine have caps over the end of the bulbs and a black housing around the sides of the reflector.

                          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.

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