Default True HID projector replacement questions
Does anybody have pictures of the output of the True HID Projector replacement for the C5 flipup headlamps?

That is the link. I am looking for beam shots across a wall.

Thanks!

I can't help but notice the huge hot spots in the center. Is that normal?

I usually never see them on projector hids and was just not sure if it was due to being so close to the garage?
