Cefiro headlight w/ 6000K HID "test drive"

OK... my first real test drive in city traffic at night.

I went driving tonight in Alhambra, San Gabriel, etc. I got lucky. 3 minutes out, I pull up next to APD at a major intersection. We're both at the light so he can clearly see his yellow headlights . After the light turns green I do a massive burnout. Oops went daydreaming there... We pace each other for a few blocks and at one point I pass him doing 39mph in a 35 zone. I'm brazen. He paces me again a bit down the road and then goes in front of me. He's in my "ramp up light up the side of the road" zone of my H4s for almost a mile. He eventually makes a right turn. I see plenty of police out tonight on my 12 mile drive.

OK. That wasn't so entertaining a story but I'm bored as hell tonight. Maybe I should have done that burnout.

Short version: Not hassled with my Cefiros H4 with my HID hi/low kit. And No, I didn't test my highbeams on the police.

How does that light output vary with the high beams. Is it VERY noticeable, or does it just flash and thats it? Thanks Chunger.

I purposely didn't want to match fogs... I have ION CRYSTALS in there... Then again... with the HIDs you hardly notice them on the ground.

The beam pattern looks ECE approved. The cutoff is good too.

ya, im curious about these aftermarket hid kits. do they have a line that goes across like standard hid systems (as in the beam distinctly ends at a certain level) so you don't blind other drivers?
