just calling a spade a spade, sorry if you feel offended... fact is, the halogen projectors are not meant for you HID's light pattern/output-

i'm sure with your extensive knowledge, you must be correct. i doubt you read the article... so i can't help those who doesn't want help. best of luck

(Why did you delete your post) Anyways spool, this isnt grammar school, its the internet. If it was my resume then yes, it would be proper. These projectors are glass and infact are made for HIDs. They are the same exact glass that are in the headlight assembly in factory MB housings that offer HID when you pay for the upgrade. You are the one posting the wrong facts saying its the projector...The AZN Optics kit have been tested on multiple vehicles and countless hours prior the being sold. Yet your calling me out saying i posted misinformation? Sorry, but that was you. Please refer to post # 3. What happened after that in post # 22? Thats right. So please tell me where my info is misleading? You cant.

Since you deleted your post of me referring to using "you're" vs "your", and if you want to play that card than wtf is this?

If/When you are able to produce light output like this one with any HIDs with a halogen project, then please post...

Not to **** in your post toasties, but my AZN Optics are brighter than that.

"A halogen bulb has a cylindrical light source: the glowing filament. The space immediately surrounding the cylinder of light is completely dark, and so the sharpest contrast between bright and dark is along the edges of the cylinder of light. The ends of the filament cylinder fade from bright to dark. An HID bulb, on the other hand, has a crescent-shaped light source -- the arc. It's crescent-shaped because as it passes through the space between the two electrodes, its heat causes it to try to rise. The space immediately surrounding the crescent of light glows in layers...the closer to the crescent of light, the brighter the glow. The ends of the arc crescent are the brightest points, and immediately beyond these points is completely dark, so the sharpest contrast between bright and dark is at the ends of the crescent of light.
This diagram shows the very different characteristics of the filament vs. the arc:


When designing the optics (lens and/or reflector) for a lamp, the characteristics of the light source are the driving factor around which everything else must be engineered. If you go and change the light source, you've done the equivalent of putting on somebody else's eyeglasses: You can probably make them fit on your face OK, but you won't see properly."

ROFLMAO, you are looking for credibility that your not going to get, especially when you google things. My knowledge comes from experience, and what i retain in my head, not what i can try to google to prove someone wrong on something that pertains nothing to the OP's problem. You called me out saying my info was misleading. You were wrong. I provided nothing but a factual solution to the OP's problem. My solution fixed it for him. You stated my info was misleading, and you told OP it was the projector? Laughing my *** off seriously....Its a glass projector, if it can use heat of over 2000 degrees to be molded into its shape, it can damn sure take the heat of a 200+ degree bulb burning several centimeters away from it. Then you post pictures and want to see whos nuts swing lower, i mean who's HID's are brighter? Get lost jr, you have caused a major thread derail with your misleading info. Go google search some more.
