Everyone should keep what he said in mind when reading my comments Basically the main difference between HID projectors and halogen projectors is that HID projectors are made to have the proper optics to go with an HID capsule vs. a halogen projector. The reason halogen projectors aren't designed more like HID projectors is because they don't have as much light to spread around as HID projectors do. For example:

H3 - 1450 lumens
D2S - 3200 lumens
