i just wanted to know if the 97-99 OEM headlighs have the same beam pattern as the 97-99 aftermarket (looks like the OEM) made in Taiwan?

 

I would think so. The housing is still the same. I think the differences would be in the quality and nothing more.

 

yeah it's the same pattern, the aftermarket ones glare a little more than the OEM ones

 

acually the beam patttern is different. On my oem with hid's it put to huge spot od the ground where the light hit. Once i went to aftermarket OEM style housing my light is more spread out and there are not huge spot of the road like before. for my hid's the aftermark*** housing inproved my visabily on the road.

 

just make sure its the same wattage. to much wattage will melt your wiring. i dont think he was talking about putting in hids.

 

he is not talking about bulb either, he is talking about how the beam apttern is on stock oem housings comapred to aftermerkey OEM style housing....and i answered his question.....they are different.

 

ahh a HID shield under the hid bulb helps precent alot of the glare from hid.. but yea i would think the aftermarket wouldnt have as good pattern...
