Half Heigh pop up with Sylvania X1010 HID

I got tired of not having enough light output even with a CATZ MSX driving light and 85watt PIAA bulb. Saw this on a Honda so figured I'd squeeze it into my half-height popup. $420.00 direct from Sylvania.
Initially, it was brighter than my CATZ driving lights but it just didn't impress me. I noted that the HID bulb had a cover that covered 75% of the bulb. I removed it and it's amazing .... I expected to have a lot of glare but there wasn't enough to bother other drivers and the output was amazing.
Unfortunately, I don't have high beam now. This is only an experiment as I want to get the RX7 even kit with Hella 90mm HID and high beam for a street legal looking headlight.

I know, I know, the car looks dirty as hell....I've been busy with changing coolant and messing around with the car but if it's any consolation for you diehard rotary disciples, I'm getting a complete paint job soon ...

This one is with both lights that have their internal cover removed.

This is the beam pattern in my garage. Note that this is with the camera flash going off (It's a Minolta Damn Image 2300).

Since the pictures are on your local PC, no one else will be able to see the pictures. Try to attach them to the message at the bottom where it says "Attach file:".

You see, it points to an "F:" drive. Well, on your local PC, that's where you have your pictures. On the internet, each PC reads that link pointing to their own PC where the pictures don't exist so nothing shows up.
If you want to post the pictures, PM me and I can shrink them for you.

Ok, I used PhotoImpact to reduce the 1 meg pictures to a more manageable 100K or less.
Sorry for the inconvenience folks. I don't know how people can post multiple pictures even though I did a search ....
Any way here goes the first one that shows a comparison b/w ligh withe the internal cover and light w/o the internal cover.

I'm not happy with this light setup:
1. the beam pattern is not good enough even for a driving light *it's slightly better than stock but then my mag flashlight is better than stock*
2. Because of the sucky *** beam pattern, when you mount the thing half-height, the beam pattern is even worse. I went back to full height.
3. This is way too much experimenting to make it worth my time. So I have not done anything since last year.
It's not a finished product in any case.
4. I'm waiting for rotary extreme to come out with the 2/3 height dual Hellla 90mm HID set up for $1250.
