If anyone has any pics showing their beam pattern it'd help me out a lot. Hopefully the beams don't come out like the top pic below:

i've noticed that if you get the main beam, it only helps with HIDs if you have a long distance ahead of you

that has totally confused me... what do you mean by that?
do people count dipped beam as NORMAL DRIVING, and MAIN BEAM as FLASHING SOME1?
many people get confused and i may be now

he means an hid main beam is only beneficial on a long straight road as the hid's do a good enough job
