Default Post pics of your HID light beam/output

Wanting to see pics of cars with HIDs and the beam output.

If you use it with projectors or halogen housings. I just got a 55 watts kit and the light output doesn't seem so crisp or focused. Looking for advice on what projector headlights (ebay for camaro) or retrofit did you guys get em ?

I have 35w's , 6000K lows and 8000K fogs , with LMC housings ,
the pictures dont do justice but the output is pretty well, especially considering that my lights are aimed a bit low too.. the cutoff isnt perfectly crisp , but its definately not blinding or anything ..

If your using projectors , your cutout and output should be much better though . I may be able to get better pictures tonight..






EDİT : I posted up some better pictures , its nowhere near projectors ofcours , but the light isnt scattered . good bang for the buck nonetheless..

Sonar projectors from Ebay and 35W 5000k HIDs. Note that my Camaro had some previous front end damage so the lights didn't sit quite level, wasn't noticeable when looking at the car but the beam pattern showed it.

maybe i'm the only one but, to me, when it comes to pics of HIDs in my car their quite subjective. to me they dont portray the actual lighting well..

I'm asking for pics so i can see how scattered or focus the lighting is with halogen to projectors. Not really concerned with how bright or far they light up the road.
