Hid are a break through in lighting technology.. it uses less power than halogen bulb.. n the brightness spread is wider,longer n clearer as well... miss use n pointing the HiD at high angles that does the damage.. projector headlights does suppress the brighness angle of the beam... since using halogen bulb like PIAA,Philips n its equivalent cost at least RM300 which will not outperform n outlast a HID... I do not see y Hid is bad thing... 4300 is the best choice of color at this moment.. u get best result for rainy day as well... unless heavy down fall, which only yellow foglights will out perform any colored lights...
