Thanks for the pics. Clearly shows tons of foreground, glare and virtually no cut off (look at the trees and yellow bin + stuff behind it).
The halogens, although dimmer, does what it does (cutoff, no foreground).
But hey, as long as you're happy. City driving it would be fine (besides annoying other drivers lol), but good luck on country roads.
HID kit in standard projectors is a downgrade from halogen. All you get is two thin 'pillars' of useless glare-y pencil beams.
Here's a couple of crappy shots of Morimoto HID projectors (FX-R) behind the standard (streaky) R32 lenses.
Has too much foreground for my liking, will modify that at some stage (have to take everything apart again).
The output is diffused too much by the standard lens cover thingy. Next project is to retro another set with clear lenses from a UK company.
