wallshots are needed to fairly judge the lights.

Head on shots don't necessarily show much--need a wall shot to see how bad the hot spots are.

que?...when i stand from a distance i can see glare but its nothing much and not crazy like other housings...as u can see from a wall shot (it was taken at dusk ill take more when its pitch black outside) there arent very many hot spots and very little glare above the cutoff...ask DmikeX or spoonEM cuz they have the same kit...i have to say im very impressed with the cutoff of the halogen reflectors and it lights up the road so well...its amazing

They look nice Mike, however, it's only a matter of time until you want to go on to better badder things like a complete retro.

ha my comp was acting weird. I posted that a long time ago. But yea those pics look great. Thats a nice light setup you got there and very little glare. the 01-03 housing i've seen is alot worse. That cutoff is very surprising. It gets my seal of approval lol

can you take a ground shot?

Yea, Trust me.

You will want to do retrofit down the road.
Just matter of time and money support.

I see too many hotspots...

Casper sheild do help a bit..I don't think they make one for 9006 application.

Looks alright, but a bit glare-y. Projectors will help you get a nice clean 'z-line' cutoff.

4000K (or a bit lower) would give you the best light output if you're not looking for that blue/purple look. Out of the 2 options you listed, 6000K gives more output, 8000K is getting pretty purple and you're going to start to see reduced light output. Theres quite a few sample images kicking around online from all sorts of HID companies, have a look.

The beam pattern looks weird / uneven.

I say you should check and see if its aimed properly.

yea i'll do a retro some time down the road but im satisfied for now....but for the meanwhile this is good and glare isnt bad...the wall shot without my high beams on is like that because there was still sunlight out when i took that and the garage door to the shop isnt a very good surface...i dont blind anyone when im driving at night...if you see you will know

did you aim them properly, or if not how did you do it? I still need to follow that huge diy for the correct distance cause i think mine are too low.
