The problem with the HID in the Hummer is that the OEM reflector headlights are not made for HID, and do not disburse the light properly. There are "hot spots" everywhere.

While you might see better from inside the car, on the outside you are blinding people because the OEM lenses do not project the light properly.

It's not because it's a reflector lens, it's because that reflector lens isn't made for an HID bulb.

JMO... which is based on tons of reading and tons of pictures.

Not true !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've had the 55W HID in my truck for TWO years and I've NEVER been flashed once! Forget the junk they sell at AutoZone and get the Xenon for $150.

I'm so sure of it if you're not happy, I'll send you the money!
