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.

but its not just where the point that emits light is, its also the fact that you have an arc vs a filament. the filament is oriented a specific way to the housing where as the arc is going to be in a different orientation, this is more critical for a reflector than a projector. i could see this working well for a projector though like my 7th gen.
