[QUOTE="jarance, post: 194766, member: 21"] Could be due to the focusing or the wrong type of xenon bulb used. The focal length of the headlamp reflector play an important part in how the the light source from the HID is focus onto the road. If they are position too close or too far, the light source is disperse. In your case the bulb is too far out from the base. Xenon bulb have a tendency to built too long as compare to original bulb. I presume your original bulb is H1. Compare the original bulb to the Xenon bulb and see what is the difference. BTW, does the E30 headlamp have a projector lens. If not better don't install the HID cos it will cause glaring to the oncoming vehicles. [/QUOTE]
