Came across this on an Audi forum I visit once and a while since I want to upgrade to HID on my A4 and dont really feel like spending 1,200 on oem bi-xenon.

Apparently they are adjustable HIDs so you dont get the glare. Thought someone on here might be intrested as so many of you run HIDs in the stock halogen housing :)rolleyes:)

Anyone heard of them?

Many countries are considering forbidden the HID car headlight. How comes a new technology which is supposed to provide a safety drive condition by 3 time luminance brightness and lifetime of the bulb will ends up in this situation?

Because the people has improperly installed the HID lamp and ignored the law on road traffic safety, which cause a serious glaring and light pollution. Glaring is very dangerous for oncoming car and driver itself, especially from the HID light since scientific study of headlamp glare has shown that for any given intensity level, the light from HID headlamps is 40% more glaring than the light from tungsten-halogen headlamps.

All the countries has its own law on road traffic safety, but when it comes to the headlight it mostly the same. In U.S, Vehicles equipped with HID headlamps are required by ECE regulation 48, and many European countries has a similar legislation, which the cut off light line cannot higher than the height from centre of the lamp to the floor in 25ft or 10m.

Since the HID light source is differ than halogen, simply install the HID in the halogen reflector will definitely caused a extensiveness glaring. Actually a experienced mechanic can help you low the glaring level by adjust the lamp position in the reflector but it takes hours; further, since the lamp and base are fixed, hence that is no way to find the best position of the reflector if the lamp cannot move forward or backward.

That is why DOOP has decided to increase the investment on R&D department to solve this issue. Finally in 2009, we have successfully developed a new product to supply a gap on the market, “FOCUS EYE†HID with remarkable glare-free function. We believe that the market will set up a new standard for HID and remain people the importance of keeping the headlight in safe standard as law required by our new technology.

Interesting. I'll wait and see what comes of it. If it can actually adjust and give me the HID line, i'd totally buy. But my shits broke anyway.

this is awesome, this can revolutionize the HID. Because the old way is getting hid's and putting them into a projector lens that can handle it. These are being used in a halogen style headlamps correct?

This reminds me, yesterday night i was riding in my friends tacoma with HID heads & fogs. We pulled up behind some small sedan at a stoplight and the driver immediately put his hand over his rear view mirror and kept it there until the light turned green. Me and my friend just laughed. But i guess to stop being assholes, he should consider these lol

I feel bad for the people who ride in front of me in my Audi, I have 55w hid's, but the projector was designed for halogen bulb so its almost like retrofit, but still has slight glare....

Yes it is with halogen style lamps.

Do a retrofit..

Yes the bests way to do it, not cheap and not easy, ive seen so many people do retrofits but still have aiming/alingment issues. Reason I still have not gone HID.

Very cool idea, gotta love a guy that can type English.

bahaha at least someone else got a laugh out of that

Its also dangerous, really your not getting any better light then a decent bulb, its scattered all over, still dont get why ppl do it. Its super funny because I once mentioned on the Audi forum about getting HIDs and I got flamed out of control, but I guess thats because you CAN get oem projectors (still $1000 though) and here everyone has them :)

Nice nice. I wouldn't mind a pair. The prices look outrageous, but translated to english its probably still a bit expensive compared to a normal hid kit

Matt do you have any idea how these things work? I went to their website and had no luck finding much of anything, it didn't even look like they carry 9007 headlight bulbs.
