How was the light output after you put your black Depos in? Did you lose any?

That is that I'm hoping for. My theory is this: If you take away all of the chrome from in front of the bulb (as the black depos do) then the light has to go straight rather than bounce off of that chrome. I wanted to ask you folks first before I dropped the dime, though. thanks for your reply!

No hids, but my depos do seem more focused than the stockers. I can see the bright spots on the road ahead.

Drivers in the opposite lane constantly think I have my high-beams on...I get flashed almost every day. I give 'em a quick flash back just to let them know that I do NOT have my high-beams going.

You need to adjust your head lites down, had mine in for over a year and haven't had one person flash me

Look inside the engine compartment towards the fender you will find a hole, with the headlight adjuster in it. Don't strip it, it's only plastic.

Yeah... the being flashed by oncoming traffic is not one of my worries. I have tested this with a couple friends.. one in a truck and one in a Miata. No complaints. Proper aiming is key. I'm just wanting a more focused light pattern rather than the one the chrome housings give.

Thanks for the replies so far
