Small Car Headlight Kit

[Huskymaniac]

What is the impact of not putting in the spacer for the high beam bulb? I would think the spacer causes the beam to spread faster. Is the spacer supposed to make up for the lack of the light spreading elements in the original lenses?

Throw away that garbage headlamp kit and do a proper HID or LED retrofit.

Indeed. I thought the small car kit was more of an appearance thing rather than improved lighting. I like the look.

The small car kit IS just for appearance, and will actually reduce night vision by removing the Fresnel lens in the headlamp that properly distributes light on the road.

IF you perform the modification, the only real way to regain the lost focus would be to retrofit the lamp behind the now clear lens.

That may be for the Brights, and possibly fog lights, but the oem Projector was already projecting through clear lens, so low beam should not have any reduction in visibility.
