We all know that the typical HID kits on the market will refract light incorrectly in OEM halogen headlight housings without some sort of labor-intensive retrofitting or conversion to HID/projector housings. However, all of that is changing with a brand new design. What do you think about an HID kit that allows you to focus the bulb (outward/inward movement) within your OEM halogen headlight housings, resulting in a properly focused beam? Preventing the light refraction issues of traditional HID conversion kits and allowing for proper beam patterns? Two versions are in the works now - one automatic/remote adjustment version and one manual adjustment version. These kits will included ballasts and plug-n-play wiring to make the installation simple as well.
A few diagrams are below to explain the drawbacks of traditional HID kits and the advantage of a 'focusing' bulb like in this new HID kit.

How you can restrict the beam pattern from the bulb itself, rather than retrofitting or modifying the headlight housing is beyond me. Go for it?

This is exactly why this new system is so great! It provisions for actual adjustment of the bulb position either manually or remotely depending on the system. The bulb is able to move outward or inward with a simple adjustment, allowing you to actually focus the beam to factory specs. Keep an eye out for more info later. These would include ballasts and everything... plug-n-play too! --------------------

I've got HIDs in reflectors right now, so like I said, go for it - would definitely solve a lot of legality issues. -------------------- |
