if you take two magnifying glass models and try to start a fire, the odds are that each
will be held at different distances from the target media. why? focal point
in order to produce a quality light beam, spread and controlled focus (minimum glare)
the light must be calibrated.

I agree. I was one of those that put HID lights in my stock 201 and was embarrassed every time someone flashed me. I ended up correcting the problem, albeit it took several years to test and correct it, but much happier with the output and I haven't been flashed since. I'm always amazed that there are cars post-2010 that still use halogen bulbs. I wonder if the new California law will do away with them for cars being made after 2020.
