Non-OEM lights will usually suck beam pattern-wise. Smoked cefiros are no exception.

OEM Cefiros, on the other hand, give an almost HID-worthy beam pattern.

your first problem is you put 14000k those are mainly for show not visibility now if you want visibility stick with a lower k something around 4300 or 6000 maybe that will help it out

Yes I have black housing cefiros (don't know if they are oem - probably not) and 9000k hids and the beam pattern is terrible.
Trialt - You got 14000K - I didn't even know they go that high

All OEM cefiros are chrome housing unless otherwise modified. The black housing ones you're getting off of group deals and ebay are not OEM.

Having just completed a bixenon retrofit w/TL projectors, I'd say that lights that output well are awesome, and you should do it.

14,000k for the Purple Barney effect. Get them switched for at least 6000k.

and for the best beam pattern, retrofit them with projectors

can't believe anyone would buy 14000k hids. You can't see **** with those. Surprised you didn't know that that is the reason you cant see anything. Purple headlights won't give any output. Get HIDs that are actually worth the money.
