55w washout and flood vs pencil?

I believe some where in this forum have a member convert the Hella 500 to HID, it look very bright, and if you have four of it, I believe it is not a matter it is a pencil or flood light pattern.

 

Flood normally have a lens that has a design in it so it will spread the light everywhere. (at least thats how KC lights are) and Pencil beams will say Long Distance on the box and have a clear lens. (Also on KC Lights)

 

Normally it will say on the box, long range or driving or euro beam pattern.


this is where I got mine and they are pencil beams. the cheapest Ive found too

You will probably end up near 4700K while the bulb is new. If you are over 5K you bulb will temp shift back toward 5K.

 

the ones at wal mart are the 500FF's which are the Driving beams.
