Hid question

So I just bought an s13 hatch and it alread had hid installed. The headlamps look like reflctors but the pattern of the lights don't look that bad to me.
What do you guys think? This is like 20ft away

Probably wrong to say, but as long as you are able to see clearly at night, and the po-po does not have anything to say about it, I say all the power to you.

For me, the more visibility I have for nighttime driving.

My $0.02

The only way you can fix this is by adding real projector lenses with cut offs and retrofitting them into the buckets. If you have pop ups they all look shitty but they are bright as hell and the right way to do it.

If you dont want to retrofit, then go Hella H4 housings.. but dont put HIDs in them because the housing isnt designed for HIDs. The HID glare will still hit the oncoming drivers.

Theres a mega thread about this here > http://zilvia.net/f/chat/462293-lets...ng-thread.html
