HID upgrade w/ Photos.
After two days driving largely in the dark I realized that I would be more comfortable with better lighting. I did a HID upgrade both Highs & Lows with Projector housings to not blind other drivers.

Looks great, those are some crazy sharp looking photos, for lack of a better word. Photoshop them? Just looks almost fake... Reminds me of Colorado in the background...

Two very important questions for you....
1- What camera did you use, and what lens?
2- How about a bunch of details about the HID's.

They look very good!! Cost/Source/Installation/Performance

The housings are xtralights with DMS lights & ballast. I had to use a compensator to stop the flickr. I used 4300K lights.

And....how about the performance of the new system compared to the stock?

Also,...anybody flash back at you because of the intensity?

Yep, I am curious about the performance too. Would like to know how you like the shape of the beam, and the intensity, compared to stock. Do the high beams reach out a long distance? Thanks.

Ok I used a Canon DSLR (mk3) with a Canon 24-105mm zoom lens. The photos are HDR. That means I took 7 shots at different Exposures and stacked them on top of each other.
