Yeah, I know all that... But it's not quite that simple, any conventional reflector with a HID in will always be inefficient and have hot and cold spots, the question is where they are. Glare's the danger, but with such an inefficient headlight as the SV you just don't know what's going to happen. There's not many people done it in SVs, and they've all reported good results, but personally I'm suspending all judgement til I try it.
