    Hmmm that's interesting, I've never heard of those before. However, I want to see pics up against a wall or garage door before I'll believe that they don't scatter light. There are a lot of led's that "claim" to not scatter light and blind other drivers but still do.

    You didn't touch the bare bulb with your fingers and get skin oil on them did you? Or wipe them down with alcohol solution that could have had some residue? I'm curious what could have been the fuel source.

    I actually had a set of these ordered but canceled it because I was afraid it would be a shitty projector when I put my LED in it, that looks like the same ones I had ordered but I'm not sure. did you make these?

    Same as the ones you talked about. They are pretty good so far. Halogen in them now, but I'm going to try hid and led.
