getting closer to ideal. unfortunately, as you've noticed already, the stock reflector doesn't distribute the light efficiently. you've removed the glare, just can't get the beam wider.

i'm glad you're voicing your personal experience here, though. i'm finding it hard to educate/convince others that ghetto-riggin' HID without proper shielding and placement of the arc is blinding to others. oh well, guess some people just don't care. :dunno:
