Well I got started on my headlight conversion finally. One of the first things I did when I bought my car was convert the conventional halogen bulbs to a 6500K HID system. This was a huge upgrade over stock, but the beam pattern left much to be desired. The culprit: sealed beam style housings. The [...]
