Hilbilibob

I know this is an old thread, but I've been reading thru some of the older headlight posts and I'm in the same situation.

I'm tired of the dim and poorly lit headlights on my 98es.

I've tried the osram silverstar bulbs (same wattage) but only with

marginal results - though still better than stock.

hid bulbs/kits are not an ideal fit with the stock halogen reflector, due to cutoff

problems, legality, and just the generally poor standard DOT stock reflector pattern.

Do the hid's from the MY2000, cover the road better with an improved reflector pattern? Do they have that hybrid "E" code? The E code reflector pattern seems to illuminate the road better. (if you look at the pattern against a wall, they have the slant upward to the right, illuminating the right side of the road better)

What are the options?

Thanks.

hd,

did you install the hid's in your car?

If so, please let me know what you did.

I'm also interested in trying the oem hid's
