    HIDs in halogen housings may LOOK brighter to you, but the end result in doing that is a ton of lost beam width and light throw. So in essence by installing PnP HIDs you are actually visually seeing LESS than you were with the proper setup.

    I keep trying to do video caps from my traffic cameras at work, but the jpegs don't show the contrast as well as the video.
    Sadly, our software is shit and I have no way to export to wmv/avi.

    But trust me... a camera sitting up on a 45ft pole being completely blinded by blue glare from "plug in" kits... yet projectors don't bother it any more than normal halogens.
