The halagen reflector with a HID kit is not going to give you the ideal effect  but in fact may even distort the light throw making the light less focus with a short throw distance. The problem may be reduce if the HID bulb is properly installed and aimed but still projected light gives u the best range.Check out this <a href="http://e46fanatics.com/features/feature.php?news_id=48" target="_blank">link</a> to get a better understanding of the pros and cons between conversion kit, retrofitting a projector vs getting an OEM projector.You should be able to buy an E46 pre facelifted OEM projector headlamps with factory Xenon (4700 K temperature if not mistaken) for about RM 3,500 from chester at <a href="http://www.motorsportdivision.com" target="_blank">Chester homepage</a>. You can then swap the OEM HID with your kit provided your kit has D2S bulbs. But factory spec at 4700 K (if i am not wrong) has the best lumens hence the brightest. The higher the bulb temperature the lower the lumens and brightness. No pount getting 10,000K bulbs when u cannot see the road properly. Hope this helps.</blockquote>
