Anyone use Sylvania Xenarc X6054X?
I did a search and I couldn't find anything. I was just wondering if any of you guys have used this sealed beam HID product. I've heard bad things about the reflector and how it isn't "up to par" but that is about it. Share your experiences.

I'm using it.
I think it's reflector is pretty good on focusing the beam. Not so much of glare to the upper half above the headlight.
One interesting thing is that, it produce two obvious patch of light that are brighter than the surrounding beam, because there's a clear opening on each of the housing. I'm not sure what's the purpose of it, but I found it useful for focusing it.
Of course you can't compare with those BMW straight as a knife beam cutoff, but for this price plus it's street legal, I'm pretty satisfied with it.
The installation is pretty straight forward, just you may need to widen the housing on the bottom a bit, but I just squeeze it in with brute force.
Becareful about the housing edges, maybe too sharp and possibly can cut the wires after some time.

I also run those and agree that the light the much better than the factory lights. The beams make a weird "U" or "V" shape but that does make them easier to adjust. They shine well out to each side and the light is a nice pure white.
