Here you go. This is looking into a HID projector Lens, without the actual glass iris on the front.

Some cars don't change output on the low HID beams though... some just have matching colour halogens as separate high beams, so the output of the low remains constant or off..

Yes, some of the older ones are Low only HIDs. But most these days are bi-xenon.

The Aspire and Evo are bi-xenon. The other reflector is not the highbeam, it's the AFS (aka bending) light

anyway, to the point of conern.. just don't do it... drivers with HIDs on non-projector lense cars are just bloody annoying...

No worries mate. I run PIAA Super White 4300K now, highly recommend them. Narva Arctic Blue are good as well, they are 4200K from memory.
