Default Difference between OEM Halogen and OEM HID

Hey guys, finally got around to doing a dodgy comparison shot of the OEM halogen headlights and the OEM HID ones on the LV Focus.

Both are using genuine parts, except globes, globes in Halogen are Phillips +100 55W and HIDs are 35W Osram CBI 5000K:

Halogen:




HID:



BIG difference, as you can see, it doesn't look so pronounced in the photos but looking through your own eyes, there is massive difference, especially on the outer edges of the light, also look how clean the HID cutoff is, minimal light above where the headlights shine, which is good for oncoming drivers, it doesn't blind people at all compared to a dodgy aftermarket HID kit.
