Looking for HID and halogen pics
A couple days ago, I was searching for info on HID's and there was a thread that showed pics of an HID conversion installed in halogen projectors. i want to say that they were TYC projectors but can't remember. at any rate, i think the pic from the HID's was worse than with halogens. anybody know the thread i'm talking about? i've been searching on and off for 2 days now. but can't find it. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Rep Power: 267 that's not the specific one i was looking for. i had already found that one too though. i was going to put together a thread showing lots of bad conversions and some good retros for comparison. could i use your pics in it?

its wierd. cause ive seen some good HID kits in stock housings. i think it all depends on the quality of the kit. but i still think a retro is the besy way.

Rep Power: 267 i haven't seen 1 pic yet of a conversion at 25ft from a wall that didn't have a ton of glare. if you know of any, i'd be interested in seeing them.

Rep Power: 350 mine has glare, its not to to bad, but still it sucks. there is no way around it unless you do a projector fit.

Rep Power: 267 do you have pics of it? like on a wall at various distances and on the road? i'm going to be doing a retrofit after what i've read here and at HID Planet. I've already bought a set of TSX projectors for $150 shipped. my purpose in gathering the pics is to show the difference between an HID conversion in a housing made for halogen and HID in a properly designed HID projector. then it would be an easy reference for people to send others come check when they're debating what to buy.

Rep Power: 267 don't know. i saw someone today posting about looking for them (might have been you). i'm going to go with a retro right off the bat. no conversions. especially since the NHTSA has deemed almost all of them illegal.
