There are pictures on the web sites of the same stretch of road using different types of H4 bulbs. The light pattern is tight enough that it wouldn't cause problems for oncoming traffic. I've also thought of adjusting the halogen high beam down to just past the low beam light pattern to provide a "driving light", not a true high beam. Or do I buy the right hand reflector for a 2008 Burgman 400 and get a proper low beam and high beam? This option would give me double the normal low beam light output of the 2007 400. What do you think? Does the HID low beam light pattern go out far enough? Or does it only go far enough out as a high beam? And if the latter, could the HID high beam be adjusted low enough to be used all the time? I'm afraid that the HID high beam, even if lowered to a driving light range, is so wide that it will cause problems for oncoming drivers. So do I buy a full projector kit? If the HID projector low beam doesn't go out far enough in distance (not width) to add useful light on the freeway, I don't want to go that direction. (Maybe that was the sales pitch only of that one brand, I don't know.) The light socket on the back of the projector doesn't fit the bulbs sold for the conversion kits. It would be great to simply buy projectors alone and install them using the existing kit I've installed, but the little bit of research I've done says you can't. It lights up the freeway signs 50 feet in the air. It hits the trees along the side of the road. You do get more light on the road.but so much is wasted.and so much can become glare to oncoming drivers. The HID conversion kits normally sold do not include the projectors. Do you have any idea how the HID projector lights compare with some of the brighter halogen bulbs on the market?.Is it far enough to feel comfortable on a dark stretch of freeway road?.How far out ( not wide) are you getting useful light? Is it farther out than a halogen bulb?.I've seen the pictures of the lights against garage walls in comparison. I know we have discussed HID lights in the past (Bill tells the mods we are supposed to read every post.) So I want to pose this question a little different.
