Really? I don't see a difference between the oe and a set 0f bixenons. My bixenons work the same way the oe work. Besides the DOT approval, the reflector is the same, the only difference is the mechanism that allows high beams to work. The bixenons I have shift angle allowing the lower reflector to shine more giving you high beams and some kits do the same as the OE where they reposition the bulb closer to the reflector giving you high beams.

I honestly don't think the OE reflectors are worth what people pay for. If you aim the reflectors correctly then you don't have an issue.

On the other hand, I feel as the OE is lacking allot. I feel that xenon lights should be projected through projectors and not reflectors such as the OE.

When I find a suitable set of projectors and am willing to buy a set of stokers to convert to projectors, then I will be happy.

As for white, nothing comes close to 5000k's. They lose the shade of blue after a few seconds of warming up.
Thanks

Why? Because they cost more money they must be better? Do you have experience with both HID kits and the Ford HIDs to come to this conclusion? Hmm...
