Thumbs up 2013 OEM HID projector output pics

I got my lights installed today and I know there are a gazillion threads scattered about but none really had any good shots showing the output. So I figured I'd save someone the trouble of sifting thru a million posts lol.

Overall this is a MAJOR improvement over the stock halogens or even a PnP HID kit in the stock reflector. There are much better projectors out there but unless you are really into HID lighting and want the best, these will suffice for anyone out there off the showroom floor. The high beam is really amazing and reminds me of my old Hella E55 retro in my Integra back in the late 90's. Loved that high beam. The pictures don't do the high beam justice as it I would of had to overexpose in order to pic up all the light. The low beam is not super wide but where it may lack on the width the fog lights fill in those areas nicely blending into the HID pattern. You can see the fogs filling in the area in the rear low beam pic.

All pictures except head-on shots were taken with the same locked exposure and metering.

Low beam...

Photo geek.

Mine included several pictures including the comparison (head on) of the HID and halogen but ... damnit... I forgot to set my exposure and metering!

Well done!

LMAO... this forum will do that.

I think I'm up to about $6k. Give or take a set of headlights.

HAHAHA no kidding!! I'm about to drop a chunk on wheels and tires. Is there a rehab place or something for us to use or a therapist to help with our disease? Maybe we can limit anyone posting pics of their mods to like 20x20 pixels so I can't see how nice their truck looks then I won't spend money!!

Thanks guys!

Good idea. The low beam width (especially closer to the truck) really surprised me. It's much narrower than I expected. Further out, it'll still cover a 6 lane highway pretty easily.

I personally don't think the stock fog lights do enough to correct the issue, so an HID fog light retrofit is definitely in the future now for me.

I'll get some pics up on this post tonight.

I really love my new headlights! Before, I could not tell if my high beams were on without looking at the dash indicator. Not now!
