I 100% guarantee the light distribution is not the same as the halogen lamp. Didn't your car come with H7 powered lamps anyway? Those put out quite a bit of light.
Even going from a standard output halogen lamp to a "high performance" halogen lamp will change the light distribution. There is special equipement used to measure this... I wish I had access to it.
Do what I did in this thread: In a dark area, turn off all auto correction and auto exposure settings on your camera. Illuminate a flat wall with one lamp, take a picture, then carefully switch the lamp in the fixture to the other type and take another picture. This will allow for the best comparison possible with "consumer" grade equipement. I would be interested to see the comparison in output between the retrofit HID light and a quality halogen lamp.
