This is absolutely wrong and untrue!!! There are plenty of non-projector HID lamps. What makes it true HID is the high intensity discharge arc in the filament free bulb.

This is misleading! DOT is about to approve them. Admittedly, their cut-off is not as hard edged as the projectors, but it is very visible, especially when compared to halogen lamps.

Relax ... I said the non projectors were fake and by fake I meant not the real deal. That is my opinion as well as others and don't forget you are also entitled to my opinion

Yes and I am saying that there are plenty of NON projectors that ARE true HID, just as there are halogen projectors. Projector or not has NOTHING to do with whether or not lamp is true HID. Period! This is fact and has nothing to do with opinion. It has to do with understanding the concept of HID. It has a specific meaning.

Tower,
If you like the non projectors then God bless you. I have had the Hella bixenon projectors installed in my H2 for 4 years now with no problems and I Loave them! I think of the non projectors as fake just as fake breasts are still breasts just fake. I still like the large fake breasts but I loave the large real breasts much much better
There is a reason the projectors cost more and the reason is they are much much better ... in my opinion
Now Thank you and good night sir!
