Hrm.. I can't say I am feeling that. The W203 has such a narrow front end, I've always said the in-grille star makes them look a bit cross-eyed. But if you like it that's all that matters.

I second that. I had just Hid's too for a while and it was brighter than stock halogens, but with the projector retrofit I just did had EVEN better viewing distance and light concentration. I could even see more peripherally with the projectors. For me it was less than a $100 investment to retrofit. http://www.theretrofitsource.com or look for cheaper kits of the same brand on ebay.
