If I put them up against the wall versus a stock accord housing with HID, the stock reflectors give a much brighter center hotspot and TONS of glare, but my projectors have a smoother fluid light with a MUCH broader pattern. If you compare identical housings with 4100K and 6000K, 4100 will be considerably brighter.
I see what you mean now. When I first put them on I lined them up to a wall and didnt really need to adjust them. While driving the light output on the floor illuminates the road pretty far but, also there is a glare.
