I liked that the HIDs came with lifetime warranties on their bulbs and I wanted something "better" so I gave them a shot. I think I'll just see the road better than you.Īs we discussed in the censorship thread - I'm not one to doubt good scientific reasoning, but I still like to test it every now and then. If you like 'em and they work well for you, power to you - I won't mind seeing you on the road. That said, I don't think glare is much of an issue with 35W HIDs in H7 Projectors. However, they are still not quite as good as an equally bright halogen bulb in halogen-designed optics. They work very well (relatively speaking) as a straight across retrofit. H7 projector bulbs are nearly identical in location and shape to their HID counterpart. so they should be fairly comparable)Īs you may or may not have noticed - they are also through the windshield at eye level for the most accurate representation.Ĭlick to expand.Yes - the main issue I had with that install was that it was in a reflector, and demonstrated extra light that was going all over the dern place. I think you're probably better off with one or the other & personally, the lowbeams are the ones that make the most sense to me.Ĭomparison pics (these are all with no white balance, manual shutter, ISO, apeture, etc. With the 65W lowbeams, I can hardly tell the difference between stock & HIR's. The color is something that definitely helped though - the road no longer seems to soak the light - it's actually illuminated by it! Imagine that. They also seem to be slightly better focused and throw a *little* more light into the distance. They did not have *quite* as much blinding foreground lighting, although it is still a fair amount more than stock. Immediate thing I noticed about the 65 Osrams? Hrm, they are just as bright as the HID's. So, I got on the horn with Daniel Stern & ordered up some new bulbs: The color & light seemed to get soaked up by the road except the immediate area in front which was too bright. After driving a few thousand miles down to Texas & back, and across Montana in poor weather though, I was not loving the HID's much.
