![]() That paired with an opposite concave rounded cutoff shield makes for super wide output. The other benefit of stock HID housing is they are generall oval shape. Not only is the cutoff shield rounded which makes it wider, but it has a small step. Now take a look at a factory HID projector output. See how all the light spills over the angle where the cutoff goes up? That's why people are blinded. The purpose of the step is so that when aimed properly, the lower left side is where oncoming cars line of sight is and the step up portion is to the right of that which illuminates more of the shoulder beside you. HID cutoff shields have only a tiny step. Halogen cutoff shields generally have a 45 degree cut half way across the shield. Here are some photos to show you the difference b/t halogen and HID projectors/cutoff shields. I gave my 6000K D2S bulbs away after that Even 4500 55W in a euro projector you can tell it has HIDs and get that 'cool' factor when you are driving.I totally agree!! When I went from 6000k to 4300k in my old 35W setup, I got 25-30% more width from the output. I just prefer the output over the 'look'. but still won't get the output of a quality piece. He looks like he does have projectors, (crappy ones, but still projectors). Those housings were not meant for HID and therefore will blind oncoming traffic.I agree with everything said here. If you are blinding people, it's not b/c of the difference b/t 5-6000, it's because you are not aimed properly or you are using an aftermarket HID set in a factory halogen projector housing. Looks better than stock but still bright as hell. It's pure white with a hint of blue and it is brighter. I ran 6000K for a while and much prefer 5000k. ![]() You can also cut rings out of cardboard or thin metal to put in where the bulb goes to create the same effect as well. By separating the two parts of the housings and putting washers in b/t the cutoff shield mounting point and the housing you can achieve this. Spacing from the bulb to shield can increase or decrease that effect. ![]() As Market Maker stated, it's the higher quality projectors and more importantly the cutoff shields that create that color flicker and the blue line. ![]()
