Yes you could add an HID kit to these headlights and increase their output, but they are still going to perform far lower than that of something like the BMW.

I'd like to see some photos of the beam pattern and output.
Hi Mad,

Couldnt agree more - and yep the BMW does have HID's. Interesting enough - the Bosch projectors in the BMW do get a bad rap compared to the Asian aftermarket if some of the reviews are to be believed - yet I find them excellent.

Light output is important but only if it is properly focussed. Even the halogen bulbs have hot spots with the reflectors provided on the Falcon. I really love my ute but the headlights are very ordinary and the 'yellow' light is tireing compared to the HID's.

Cheers
Tom
