Xenon Headlight Question
Is it correct for the the drivers side beam to project shorter than the passengers?
I can follow the logic as it would be less intense for on coming traffic but as this is my first ride with Xenons I don't know.
Thanks in advance!

What kind of Color temp are the head light? Too blue to be the normal 4300K, right?

Human evolution has dictated that our eyes are most sensitive to the light spectrum provided by the sun, and 4300K happens to come closest to that. Anything different is only for esthetics and that mostly for the view of/by oncoming drivers.
And FOG lights...??
Pardon me, but FOG lights.....??!!
It's already bad enough that the idiot asian designers are forcing us to not have true viability of automative fog lights. I have had to retrofit EVERY asian vehicle I have so the FOG lights could be used alone.
FOG light assemblies are typically, STILL, designed for LOW, WIDE and CLOSE-IN forward illumination, often slightly AMBER illumination.
But having the low beams on, REQUIRED by asian designs, does nothing but reduce the functionality of the FOG lights. On the other hand having the FOG lights on with high beams reduces your forward distance vision substantially.
FOG lights cannot be used to improve your distance vision as some seem to believe. Currently they seemed to be used, mostly, to reduce the vision of oncoming drivers and maybe impress same.
SEE ME, I HAVE COLORED HID FOG LIGHTS...!!!
If you wish to increase your distance vision then look for DRIVING lights that do not do double service as FOG lights except with integral DUAL bulb/reflectors.

Umm pretty colors
I love HID's for their brilliant color output, regular halogens just don't do it for me anymore. Driving through an area that isn't well illuminated is a pleasure, blue-ing up everything around. Has anyone on the Zine considered other colors for their headlights? I have been thinking about yellow or maybe even purple, with whatever combo with the fogs...
