Anyone else remembering calculating refraction in physics? and bending light around little sticks?

anyways, loads of good information here, happy to see venders discussing this and seeing the all the responsible folks be actively involved.

Oh, don't get me wrong, the whole point of a business to make money so there's nothing wrong with a company being biased to their own products.

Last I checked, the latest regulations say you can't legally have any light source in a housing that does not match the type of light source the housing it was designed for.

For example, you cannot put an HID bulb into a filament type housing. Or even a filament bulb into a HID housing.

Thus making all non- native conversions illegal for road use regardless whether it's LED or HID.

OEM retrofit is the only proper solution.

Yep, though there are gray areas...

Posting a few photos I took (iPhone at night, so judge accordingly). The head-on view is not true - there's no crazy glare.
