i love my hid's and they do seem to light up alot more IMO

but i do see what hes saying, the light does seem "sloppy" in the stock housing.

i have a very hard time believing that. just because theyre brighter, doesnt mean it makes them better. the burning pattern of an HID does not burn correctly to create the ideal reflective pattern to be used in a reflective halogen housing.

and no, my car is not the only car ive ridden in or even driven, that has HID's in the wrong housings (this includes other SN95 and new edge mustangs, among a few other cars).

every car ive driven that has HID's in halogen housings, all had very bad light output, and everything i have stated previously, gives supporting evidence as to why it works so bad.
