Picture Request, 2GS's
Hey guys, I have a 01 GS300 with no HID. I want to see the output of a Halogen headlamp with an aftermarket HID kit (preferrably 4300-6000k) in it will look like compared to a stock HID headlamp with stock HID.
anybody have pictures that you could put up side by side?
thanks
(and don't bother telling me to just do a retro/put stock hid in, i know already! haha i just want to see how much difference it is.)

Honestly, your light output on the road with an HID kit is just a bit better than the halogen. The difference is, your light will be shooting everywhere.
A forum member here has an hid kit on his car and it's blinding as hell. Probably the most blinding I have ever seen..even worse than those civics. We actually had to tape half of the headlights to reduce glare, yet it was still paintful to look at.
I dont have a picture to show you, but the difference is HUGE compared to OEM HID.
The difference between the OEM HID and an aftermarket is night and day (no pun intended
). The OEM HID reflector redirects the light towards the front of the car with a cutoff line. An hid kit in a halogen headlamp disperses its light everywhere, wasting light output.

it's THAT bad? wow. lol, i'm glad i'm not purchasing. people were telling me to just throw a kit in, with stock headlights. i'm not even going to worry about it for now then, i'll just wait til i have the funds for ls430 projectors...hehee.
the member I was talking about is dung0981. He'll tell you how bad it is. We even lowered the headlight all the way down. Imagine driving down the road and seeing a car with spot lights shining in your face. That's how bad it is. Luckily, he's going to do the LS430 retro next week.
Gah everyone is doing LS430s now. I gotta get something new
