New HID on non-xenon

I just installed a 6000K HID kit in place of the halogens. Much whiter and brighter (3200 lumens). No error message. Only problem is that there's no upper cut-off like the projection lights.
I noticed on the new 428i, they don't have projection lights. They use the same housing as for the halogen lights (multi-faceted mirrors), but with a built-in shield above the HID bulb to create an upper limit on the beam of light.

'14, if you've put HID capsules in incandescent housings, I'm glad you're in Vancouver and I'm not....

I was looking at my halogen lamps last night, I think HID's in them won't be as bad, there is a cover over the end that is build into the reflector, it will block the britest point and the little civics with HIDs don't have and burn your eyeballs.

I might see you in Burnaby (metrotown)? I will be up there from Seattle all this week on business, I'll be in the blue M-sport with out of country tags, he he
