Lighting Differences

asanti,
Thank you for your excellent discription of the various types of lighting systems!!! Now, I am able to make an informed decision...

solman98,
Thanks for the picts of the different types.
It seems to me that installing an HID bulb in our HHR's might be very annoying to oncoming traffic: "Installing HID can blind oncoming traffic, light can scattered instead of focused like a projector lens. It's also illegal to install a HID bulb in a non-HID housing."

So, from all of this stuff, I have concluded that I've got only to choices, a) be content with what I already have, or, b) install a projector system, as 'orbitalrage' has already posted in a "How To" (lots of trouble, removing the whole headlight, not to mention pricey). Sounds like I'll just be content with what I already have!

There is not, presently, an HID reflector designed specifically for HHR's, right???

Thanks everyone for your replies...

You're quite welcome T 20! And as far as I know, you're correct in assuming that no one makes a projector headlight for us HHR owners. That's why I started this thread, just to see if there was a vendor somewhere that did offer one.
