Enjoy!First a few pics of just the HIDs, you can tell the HIRs in the foglamps are noticeably brighter than the 9006 OEMs were[img]

now all you need to to is get used to the "x" pattern that the hids create in the Matrix

You see your nice X pattern, well them X's just get bigger the farther away you get.... blinding people... Now if you look at this gallery, you can see MANY examples of what a proper HID cut-off pattern looks like...

Duly noted, but I enjoy being able to see more. Maybe someday auto manufacturers will get smart and put HIDs in all cars.

I like my X. It's my insignia now to let others know to move over lol!I gotta say since owning this and using them people seem to move out of your way on the highway cause they think you are some kind of german car movin on through. Not to mention I haven't been cutoff lately. Hopefully cause with my HIDs they actually see me now.

Even Mercedes projectors... I know for my Subie, it's ~600$ for a set already complete with warrentee.. And I would have to send them my housings for that core... Not cheap, but when you consider you might be scattering as much light at your are projecting.... well, you "see" my point.... My Subie actually had HID installed and the origional owner switched back because they sucked so bad in the housings..

Well so far I've driven by many a cop, and many many people. Nobody flashes me, haven't been pulled over. I feel like there is more glare from the projector style ones coming at me than when I took my dad's car and drove it towards mine after install to see how bad it was. RF was never an option as $600 for that is just not something I'm up for paying. I love the coloring and feel I adjusted them properly because people pay them no notice, as if I am any other Audi, BMW on the road. Just what I wanted too.
