Hid projectors bi xenon

A thought for the heat issue. Late model light assemblies generally have some sort of venting up top , such as small rubber hose that runs up, sideways, & slightly back down to help heat & moisture escape.

Yes heat was a concern. The housing is some kind of fiberglass composite, and the lens is glass. The ballasts get pretty warm too. I got the second one installed this weekend. Wow, the high beams are intense. Also no one flashed their high beams at me. The low beam cut off is nice. They are not as nice as an oem projector, but for the price and drastic improvement in night visibility, they're worth it. The main issue is the H1 bulb and how it attaches to the base. Kind of a poor design, not very secure.

The low beam cut off is nice.

I still don't understand this. I was driving the wife's RAV4 the other night, and the cutoff was driving me nuts that I couldn't see above it.

Yes that is annoying. I meant nice in that there's a sharp cutoff, so I don't blind traffic. Its worth it for the high beams though. Can you adjust the rav 4 up a little bit?

I don't touch that thing; she goes to the dealer.

It does kind of suck at times but if you ever drive at night and someone has had a light change...as an example, the want to be HID conversions in traditional headlights, or the silverstar extra bright bulbs, and they are coming towards you, you appreciate the fact that the legit ones have cut offs. My *ss is getting more and more blind when I drive at night from all these damn lights shining too bright and too high of an angle.
Just my thoughts of course.

I have my bi xenon hi/lo and hid hi in Hella lenses that look similar to a seal beam, they have a cut off that angles up to the right to and does not affect any other drivers. The Hella lenses are king of pricey but you get what you pay for. Most places have laws that you are not permitted to alter headlights and I have known people get tickets for obvious alteration of the headlights in the car. Mine look pretty much like stock so I don't get bothered.

I'm sorry, but can't tell if a car coming at me has projectors or not. I'm calling BS on that. Overly bright bulbs are overly bright regardless of the lens. That being said, I love my OSRAM Nightbreakers in my Hella E-codes.
