I bought some HID style Xenon lights a few months ago from off Ebay. They look good except for one problem. They do not have a good range. I see alot of cars with the same type of lights, and they seem to shine brighter and and cover a much further distance. I know all those cars and trucks I see don't have geniune HID conversion. So is it possible the lights I have are cheap crap?Also what lights are recommended that will work within the safe wattage level, but will give me the maxium brightness and distance?
