I got about halfway thru and skipped to the end....My opinion on the blacked out reflectors is that the less gloss you have in the reflector itself the less light output(and seemingly the more yellow you get from 6000k hids). If anything, I would atleast have a chrome reflector in the immediate area of the bulb. I currently use fogs for driving because even the high-gloss black reflectors with 6000k HIDs illuminate the road less than stock halogens. Also, the projector in the center doesn't seemingly do anything except magnify the glare from the beam. I guess I'll have to take pics tonite and post them, they will be side-by-sides of my 6000k hids on hi(glare shield removed for maximum light output thru reflector and projector) and my stock halogens, shining against the grassy hillside.
