Hid in stock housing is illegal and stupid bright.they blind everyone,no matter if they are adjusted right or not.with that said i run 55watt hids in my clear lights but i dont have to worry about inspections,i do get pulled for them tho.the 9007 make a world of difference in clear cut lenses.
The ones i posted the link to,diamond cut 6pc set.i was thinking about getting the ones you have but thought if i break any part of it i couldnt get any parts,would have to replace the whole thing

FWIW, the reflector in the ones you have is probably the same as the reflector as the one in jd's link. They probably also use the same reflector in a lot of other rectangle headlights, including the sealed beam retrofits..... If that reflector is designed for the filament position in a 9007, that would explain the additional scatter. Honestly though, that reflector was probably designed for an H3 bulb if anything, but I guess I can't say for sure, so speculating is probably not a good idea either.
The bulb you pictured is a 9007.... 9004s all have the transverse filament, it is the biggest weakness in the design of 9004, which is why they are pretty much only used in North America, where we have horrible lighting standards.
They are made for a stock replacement, meaning 9004 bulb.anyone with a first gen can switch there wires around and run a 9007 bulb that 2nd gens use.witch is a better brighter bulb
