Default Hid issue

I have a 2014 Scion TC and have hids. How can I correct the beam pattern? I noticed two hot spots.

HID bulbs in Halogen projectors is the issue here. Retrofit the headlights with
True HID projectors. Btw...i dont want to scare you but when i opened my
Headlights i noticed the stock halogen projectors started to develop small cracks and haze on the chrome
Reflector bowl of the projector due to the HID bulb. Eventually over time your light output will become
Dim. Some will never notice it until they drive a car that comes with real HID xenon headlights.

I have a 35w hid kit. So basically I have to get the hid projector lens then.

I recommend these bulbs for your stock projectors.
9006: Morimoto 3Five - HID Bulbs from The Retrofit Source Inc

when you have the money invest in a retrofit. open the headlights and install real HID projector that uses D2S or H1 bulbs. btw, the 2014 TC does not use 9006 bulbs, it uses 9012.

Good info, I've been thinking of going to HIDs but really don't want to do an entire retrofit.....
