How is eliminating the fresnels helping the problem? Just let more light all over the place.

The problem is in the reflector which is more of a U shape for the Halogen Bulb emission center. HID reflectors are more of a parabola shape. Putting a HID bulb in the halogen reflector puts the light center in the wrong place and throws off the beam dispersion and color.

What you need is to replace the back half with the reflector not the cover. Find a HID reflector that fits with a D2R mount. Screw putting a D2S bulb in a Halogen reflector.
