Just checked Gizmo's thread, looks like he will be fitting a projector unit to the headlights, which will make a massive improvement as the HID Projectors can aim the light correctly and focus it.
@ Gizmo - for the E36 conversion that you do is it a closed Projector kit like the E46 or how are you doing it do you have any close up pics of the E36 conversion that you do?
well I bought them from Autostyling and they cost me almost R200.00
Yes they were definately brighter and didnt look as yellow, but the fact of the matter is that they are still ordinary halogen bulbs which only give of 1200lumens of light, the bulb is just painted blue giving it a brighter whiter look.
A xenon bulb gives off at 6000k temp a fat 3200lumens of light, which makes it more than double the brightness of any halogen 55w bulb and that is from a 35w Xenon, if you get a 55w xenon then it will be even brighter.
I parked my car next to my friends car with the osram nightbrakers and we switched our lights on, my xenons just over powered her lights completely there was no competition in night time visibility, you just cant compare a halogen bulb to a xenon setup, xenon setup is using a arc of electricity to generate light, its the same as a welding arc which blinds you if you look at it, there is no filiment in a xenon light just a straight arc of electric current that is pure white in colour, well depending on the temp - 6000k xenons being the brightest but I prefer the colour of the 8000k.
