    :eek: WTF :eek: dude, wow... It just seems like he half assed the job. Which he did... electrical tape.....

    Must find a big dark parking lot! or i should just head to the mountains/canyons! Theres a pretty close canyon i take my bike to and a big ass open spot to park and chill before taking the curves.. :D

    I thought the 'lighting up 7 lanes' came from the LS430 projectors... Which, by the way, are only low beams.:confused: Regardless if the LS460 light up 7 lanes, the output on 1 is just amazing!! trying to imagine with both fully functioned!




    brock-olli:broccoli:!!HAHAHAHAHAH I JUST SAW THIS SMILEY...sorry :)... yea ive been using my hellas driving home from training/class... which is only a few blocks :)

    the 430's are just a hair wider of a beam because they hold no light in reserve for a high beam. the

    ls 460 on the other hand has a massive reflector below the lens so on top of having the best reflector bowl of any bi xenon they also have the best cut-off imho meaning that for a projector to have such a wide beam it has to have a curved cut off shield and no other bi-xenon does it better. there are only a few that can come close. so on top of all that that reflector below the lens is also throwing light out to the sides so in effect the light that a normal bi xenon projector would reserve for a high beam and never seen until the high beam is activated is actually used in the 460 to reserve light below the main optic but, to throw light wide and low.

    read up about them they truly are special and unique.

    just a hint of how wide the beam actually can get check out jvx drivers projector comparison he performs the test methodically look into the ls430 page and check out how big the beam is lol.

    now retrofitting that projector into a reflector designed to house a halogen bulb the projector may be sitting to far back in the reflector bowl so you may lose a tad bit of width there as well but if you just had one hooked up to a power source and sat it on a flat surface like in jvx drivers test it's astonishing just how wide and even the light is. you almost have to wonder why more projectors are not designed this way.
