[QUOTE="TerminatoRS, post: 16606240, member: 195778"] The problem with installing an HID into a housing made for halogens is that the light output scatters incorrectly. You could try getting a pair of [i]adjustable[/i] LED bulbs before you spend any big money. Being able to clock the bulbs is the key for two reasons: 1. you'll focus most of the light where it should be and thusly 2. you won't blind everyone coming at you. Typical LED headlight bulbs consist of a two-sided "stalk" with LEDs on each side. Clock the stalk so that the LEDs point to 12 and 6 o'clock. I know it seems counterintuitive, but I've tried the 3 and 9 o'clock positions and oncoming traffic wasn't fond of it. lol Edit: I suppose we don't yet know for sure what housings you're working with so my above point may be moot. Could be that the previous owner installed some 12K bulbs and that purple light combined with the tint has made the output pretty useless. [/QUOTE]
