HID Conversion Kit Refraction Issues SOLVED? Options

[upscaleauto]

We all know that the typical HID kits on the market will refract light incorrectly in OEM halogen headlight housings without some sort of labor-intensive retrofitting or conversion to HID/projector housings. However, all of that is changing with a brand new design. What do you think about an HID kit that allows you to focus the bulb (outward/inward movement) within your OEM halogen headlight housings, resulting in a properly focused beam? Preventing the light refraction issues of traditional HID conversion kits and allowing for proper beam patterns? Two versions are in the works now - one automatic/remote adjustment version and one manual adjustment version. These kits will included ballasts and plug-n-play wiring to make the installation simple as well.

A few diagrams are below to explain the drawbacks of traditional HID kits and the advantage of a 'focusing' bulb like in this new HID kit.

Diagrams also show how a typical HID kit bulb has a different light-emitting point than a halogen, which is the main cause for the improper light refraction. The the last diagram shows how this new kit is adjusted so that the light emitting point is at the same location as the halogen, resulting in a more focused beam. Hope this helps a little. Thanks to Espo for stepping in an helping explain as well!
