the projector projects the light from the bulb in a different way, with mine its super white almost bluish, and i think its super brirght, others say its dimmer. And the halos have NOTHING to do with light output, they are strictly for looks and are just little rings of light that go around the headlights. They are just for looking cool.

[ol][*]Nope, not really[*]I'm sure people do. And I'm sure the glare is terrible... and it's not good to blind other drivers[*]They reflect the light in a different way than conventional lights[/ol]this will either help you greatly or confuse you more
