    Projector bulbs shine light differently than halogen bulbs which makes them reflect incorrectly in halogen housings. No amount of adjustment will fix the glare. You can point them way down and still be able to illuminate low flying UFOs with glare.

    Agreed. That's why I'm doing projectors this winter.

    I've had 6000k in both my Grand Marquis and the Marauder. I will say the GM scatters way more light than the Marauder. I blame the all-chrome housings on the Marquis for this. I don't think it's as bad in the Marauder to have HIDs in the halogen housings, I just can't stand the dirty light pattern emitted since I have projectors on my motorcycle with such a clean cutoff.

    Guys, how hard is it to install/remove HID's? Im not educated on electrical stuff... The car that I'm looking at had HID's but was later removed due to one of the ballasts going out. However, there are still foglight HID's in it.
