Question about Projectors

I purchased the projectors from NGA. I love the look of them. I replaced the lights with Luminics Ultra Whites before I installed them. I want to go HID in the future, but I do not have the money right now. I noticed that with the lights installed, that the road is not as well lit as it was before. Is this from the light bulbs that I installed or is this a part of the projectors? From what I have read, the lights are aimed properly and I can see where the light is hitting the road when it is really dark, but the lighting is dim. Thank you for any help that you can give me.

I figured that they weren't going to improve my visibilty, but it almost seems like I don't have any light on the road. I can seriously not see. That is why I was asking if anyone else has noticed this with the projectors or any experience with the Luminics bulbs.

I installed HID's in mine but I can defiantely see that the pattern isn't the best. In fact, there's a couple "dead spots" in the light output.

Ok, so I reaimed my lights and the output is much better. It is still not as good as stock, but a major improvement over what I originally saw. I will end up putting HID's in later on this year. That will probably help me a lot with lighting. I am guessing that the light bulbs that I am using are better than what originally came in there. So that is helping me some.

Something new I noticed on them. Whenever you pull back to flash the high beams, all 4 light up, but whenever you push it foward only the inside light up. Is there a way to get all 4 to light up when I use the high beams? Would this require a relay or a diode?

I think that the light output drop is by the fact that the H1 bulb is so much smaller than the original 9007. I also think that there aren't any reflectors inside of the lowdeam projector housing.

I think Vision Bulbs heard my thinking about HID's. I might be getting them sooner than I expected. WHY DO YOU TEMPT ME VISION BULBS WITH YOUR AWESOME DEALS??????

Actually I think that the output is supposed to be more. I looked on the back of my Silverstar H1s and it said the H1s put out more lumens than the 9007s.
