When I had my hid pnp kit for a few weeks I made some mods. I used foil tape to correct the shitty cuttoff piece. basically made it so that both sides were even, and it actually had a decent cutoff. aftet a few weeks I noticed it actually had less width than the stock halogens, and because the arc in an hid is not as consistent as the coiled filament when it produces light, the beam pattern is very spotty and irregular. Another thing I noticed was that me reflectors were actually oxidized badly, but since you have aftermarket reflectors they should be ok. Then I finally had enough money and bought this.
PNP Upgrade: Bi-xenon - Complete Retrofit Kits from The Retrofit Source Inc
anyways here are some pics of the different setups i went through.
This is with the stock halogen, the cutoff is actually quite good.
As you can see the HID kit was a lot brighter but the cutoff was crap. and it had a huge hotspot right in the middle.
After the cutoff modification the beam pattern spread out a little more and obviously had a better cutoff, however the hotspot was still there which overpowered the left and right side making the beam seem very narrow.
With both on you can see the actual cutoff is not bad at all, but the hotspots again really killed the effectiveness of the kit.
this was shot at the same location and around the same time of day, as you can see the backwall has no light on it coming from the projectors, and the backwall appears dark even though it was actually being lit by a lamp, which you can see some of the shadows from in the other pictures. the projectors were easily 5 times brighter than the pnp hids in the stock reflectors.
So all in all this was my experience, You can upgrade to a good quality easy to install projector for 175 bucks now that you have a kit with ballasts, If you choose to do so.
