It's good to see comparisons of the bulbs when the car wasn't moved

Good news is I can reproduce it fairly easily so if I get another set of bulbs (Xenons?).

Can't put HID bulbs into those sockets.

Aaron,
I don't question the fact that HID requires a complete reworking of the light system. Possible, but cost-prohibitive. The blue tinted glass bulbs that are passed off as Xenon bulbs are bad. But what about ones filled with xenon gas, are those any different? They're not true HID bulbs, but... I've read that article by Daniel before. According to the "good blue" article, the non-tinted glass ones are OK. Well, better, at least. Moral of the story? Bulbs with blue-tinted glass is bad!
