Personally, if I encounter one of them with HID's in those and they're coming head on or blinding me in the rear-view mirror, I'll hit the button for the RPG in the trunk and laugh all the way down to the precinct.

Who said anything about "fixing" the beam pattern with hids? I don't expect them to. If they give out crappy lighting with regular bulbs then hids will help as far as brightness. As I said if there is a bad glare then i'll make a glare shield for them. I wouldn't have them in my car if the glare was bad. I'd get pulled over every night where I live until I fix them.

Is someone working on a retrofit? The only way I'm getting these is if TSX HID projectors fit in them (or some other high end projector). Can someone PLEASE be a guinea pig? Otherwise I will stick with my stockers until I can retrofit those.

There's another guy on here who had a spare pair of TSX projectors laying around so he'll be doing a set too.

My new phone apparently can take usable night photos. Here's a couple I took just now.
Beam w/5000k HID. Some stray light above the horizon, but not as bad as some of the other cars I've seen.
random shots:
5000k hid makes the fog lights look yellow

Yes please take pics of the beam pattern on the ground. My 6000k HIDs just came in today and my headlights are supposed to be in on thursday so it would be nice to get a preview of how they will look.

i think they're fine even without the retro. they'll look even nicer with the projectors but that'll cost more and labor time.
Great Job mahn... btw i just ordered mine on eBay... the group deal didn't come thru. I'll post pics when i get mine... (black ones)

I don't know how many times that ebay was said in this thread before you posted....
BTW: ewuzh I think they look much better with the HID bulbs. Not sure a projector project would be needed but of course will look fantastic.

Let me get this straight...a part which is supposedly built for our cars and fits the bodywork, and yet requires modification to install, which gives me a beam pattern as bad or worse than the stock 4th gens'?
I think I'll pass.
Give me real H4's that fit right...I'd pay whatever was asked for that. Why replace garbage with more garbage?
