[QUOTE="Huachipato, post: 14475109, member: 22395"] In black it barely catches the eye at all. It looks like a smoked lens headlight during the daytime - you barely see the projector lens at all. The only reason you see the lens in the images above is because it is dark outside (nothing reflecting off the lens) and the camera flash is causing the projector lens to shine. I've already pointed out that these were hard to photograph and I chose the images that actually provided the most detail of what is going on inside the housing. Even when you see the lens - it is not so much different than seeing the bulb shield that you already used to seeing inside the stock housing. This should not be new news to you as even in your LED thread it has been shown and mentioned to you by another member. Here is a good example of what you typically see during the daytime (I'm sure you see the Ricey circle because you are looking for it and not because it stands out): [ATTACH=full]1423906[/ATTACH] To be honest - once I switched to projector - the way the light is thrown out is completely different. You can say there is no scatter with LEDs all you want - there is scatter. It may not be as bad as HID in stock housing - but it is not at all the same as projectors where you can define a clear cut line of where the light will be and where it will not. You CAN however claim that the scatter is the same as stock - and I'm sure for most that is all they want to know - and it is great that there is an option out there that is brighter and more efficient that halogen (although I'd love to see you put an amp meter on high beams to see how much power those LEDs are actually pulling). I'll insist that there is a clear difference in how the light is thrown out through a projector and you don't get the same result with a 20 minute bulb swap. [/QUOTE]
