    Nice cleaning job there

    I have a few sample bottles of Simple Green I use on my Nitro offroad vehicles, works a charme to cut through nitro oil and dirt and grime.

    Having said that, I think a bottle of dish washing detergent in water would work just as well

    hmmm, they look very glarey! most of the cheapy brands tend to be and then become dangerous to oncomers and even more so due to you placing them into an open chamber head light; Really you need a focused lens type like the dual hella lights, thay will really give you a cut of with the beam instead of fading out around the edges, thats what gives you glare . . .

    I cannot deny the fact projector would give it nice clean edge nor they are cheap brand, as to the glare from cheap brand I don't think so.

    The logic is any HIDs in a open chamber would disperse the light, also note the camera is directly on the beam, you think I would consider and getting projectors prior to HIDs for the sake of on coming traffic? I think not.

    HID is not just a cosmetic, I the driver benifit in the dark, as to on coming traffic I am sorry. I will try to adjust my beam height.

    yeh but the thing is, if a cop is coming the other way, he can fine you for having an "non-roadworthy" vehicle.

    To be honest, it never came into my mind HID would have glare problems to oncoming traffic. You guys got me thinking, last thing I really want is to be pulled over. I should thank you guys for the tip, I am seriously considering projectors now.
