    No worriessssssssss, Cy.
    Actually, while talking about the lens focus, I've noticed that my headlight now has a different pattern to it since going HID. It's taken me a while probably cos I've been totally captivated by the amount of light coming out of it nowadays (hardly use my driving lights now) but the thing is that my high beam is the same as my low beam, only higher up. I can see a definitive cut off, just like low beam, in the trees as I ride along. Most of the comments I've heard about these has been about the mile long swathe of light being sent down the road on high beam. Mine's not anywhere near as long as that, but it lights up completely around the front of the bike periferally as well as a goodly distance down the road ( far enough for a safe 150-160 kph through the bush) which is very handy thing with all the damned roos around here.
    I also have it set at a conservative height as it is a 50w kit and I realise the legality side of things and don't want to push my luck with the law.
