Forgot to mention I got the 6,000K Sky White 10,000 Lumen with 50,000 Hour Lifespan version, it is the brighter 45W version instead of the less expensive 35W version with 8,000 Lumen. Around $50 per pair from Amazon.

Have you had your headlights checked with a beam checker after your install. The reason I ask is I have come across a few conversions which have thrown a pattern that wasn’t approved by the uk MOT, they subsequently failed the test as they where blinding drivers coming in the opposite direction.

He's in USA where they have different rules.



For us in UK (and EU?):

Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.



From what I remember of the new rules when I saw the drafts, it wasn't just the instruction to fail but the scary bit was they put it in the serious class of failures where you couldn't drive your car away!

Here in the uk we have to give the benefit of the doubt that they are just extra bright halogen bulbs unless you can tell without stripping the car, otherwise they will also have to have headlamp washers.
