They are still generic, cheap, projectors with very little R&D and science behind them. ANY OEM projector is proper to use, not some eBay Chinese POS. I take back the SharpHID recommendation, they are just recommending doing the horrible thing and slapping an HID bulb into a rectangular HID housing. The bulb DOES matter. REAL HID bulbs are D2S and D2R, NOT Hx, 900x, etc. Any HID bulb that is something other than D2S or D2R are cheap knockoffs. There are many standards bulbs have to adhere to, and Hx, 900x only have standards set for FILAMENTS, NOT ARC-LAMPS.
An H1 projector is all built around a certain thing. A BMW projector is in no way generic. But a H1 HID is in NO WAY standard. The bulb, the projector, and whatever you can think of with the projector is all engineered together. It IS NOT going to be the same as getting an H1 HID kit from SharpHID and slapping them in those housings. ANY Hx bulb is HALOGEN. When a manufacturer wants to make an HID system that uses H1 they are straying from what H1 really is. Light output is subjective too. Did you actually measure lumens versus the area it is spread out? D2S and D2R were created for HID. An HID bulb in any other package is something like BMW did and create a whole non-standard or something eBay-ish.
See now man your talking about something out off your ass here. I've ran hundreds of different hids in the rain and snow and fog, I have never had glare back and again, as long as he does it right and checks with state laws, he will not be ticketed. So please stop talking about something you know little on.
