These two pictures show the backside of the HID bulb installed on each side.

Passenger side... Eventually I will remove the rubber seals...


Driver's side....


The look of the OEM headlights...


The new look with Stealth Auto 6000K HIDs...



And a couple night shots to show how these HIDs compare to the OEM HIDs of our 300C Heritage Edition.

The Magnum SRT8...


The Heritage Edition 300C...


The H.E. projector bulb has a very well defined mask line (somewhat expected from a projector lens I suppose), whereas the non-projector Magnum headlamp's have a fuzzier upper cut-off. It seems apparent from these images that I may have to play with the aim of the Magnum assemblies (if I can, other than up/down) to minimize the separation between the bright spots although in driving at night there is no noticeable dim area on the roadway.

The viewing distance with low beam is greatly improved without hazard to on-coming drivers as far as I can tell. The color simply is white with only a very slight twinge of blue (I suppose)... much like the Heritage Editoin bulbs and I've had those since we bought the car last March (2006 and 20k+ miles ago). Never a problem with drivers or police.

Just like with the Heritage Edition, the high beams help extend vision further and broader, but you can tell there's a color difference. I'd say, although the Stealth bulbs might be a little brighter, the Mag's high beams seem to be a better intensity match than those on the H.E. But the difference (if any) is only slight.

Both HIDs (H.E. OEM, and MSRT8 Stealth Auto) are SO MUCH BRIGHTER and whiter than OEM halogen bulbs! Yet nobody, so far, as flashed their lights at me indicating that I was blinding them. SO I don't hesitate to say I am VERY pleased with how this mod turned out. But you don't use these HIDs just to illuminate the garage do you?

Ok... I'm done.
