Reason I ask is because my Miata takes H4 bulbs but there's a very sharp cutoff to the top of the beam so I figure that as long as I use an actually functional color of bulb, HIDs would work nicely.
Hey Mike,
It's not that it will suck, it's just that it will be very glary. Not sure how Miata headlights are designed, but if it uses an H4 bulb, chances are, the design is similar. The design was made for a halogen bulb, if you put the HID's in there, you will get massive glare and spotty light. My suggestion, you can get an H4 HID kit, but get the glare shields that were made to help preven the glare.
They look like this
