Yet another thread about HIDs. I have seen alot of pics head-on of 04s with HID kits, but given that different cameras process this light differently, its difficult to tell how well the 04 reflectors handle this light. I have heard they do a pretty good job.

So, could some of you with HID Kits take a picture of the beam pattern on the road in front of the car, and on a wall to see if there are any hotspots or excessive glare.

I am ordering a kit, and am working on some ways to reduce glare without doing a full retrofit. And seeing how much glare and hotspots will let me know how creative I will have to get. Plus, once I get this done, I can share exactly how I did it so we can run HID kits alot safer.

Thanks for the replies. It does look like our reflectors do a relatively good job handling the light. I am not saying it great, just better than other pictures I have seen where there is light all over the places, and reflections, and about 10 different hotspots.

I think I might be able to do some modifications to get this to work better.

 

I got the MCCullogh (SP?) at the house but I have not installed. I am waiting for any information on the high beam stuff.

What kind of HID kit do you have??

I just installed HID kit Mucllouch 5000K its pretty BRIGHT! and havent flash from other car at me yet but i m a bit worry about cop might stop me hehe.

The beam pattern isnt that GREAT but its okay.

YOMAN!

 

I don't have a kit, and like I said, those are not my pictures. They're torresus. I have an actual HID retrofit. When I'm finished installing in the truck I'll take pictures of the output. It'll simply blow away a HID kit output.
