Default Re: Silverstar Headlight bulbs- Are they an improvement?

Ummmm..... it is true. Plain and simple the Hummer reflector lenses are not made for HID and do not disburse the light correctly. It might look good from the inside, but the outside looks like on big cloud.

Try driving up to a wall and turning on your lights next to a car/truck that has OEM HIDs.... you'll see what I mean.

Perfect example is the picture a few posts up.... look at the dispersion of the light! It's all over the place!

Not saying you haven't been flashed, and I'm not saying you won't see better with a set of HID drop ins...

But I am saying it's technically not legal, not DOT approved. It just doesn't look right to me.

Compare any HID made lens, projector or reflector, to a drop in HID bulb used with non HID reflector and you will see the difference between the two is obvious.
