This is a 2008 EX35 Journey AWD.
Lowbeam : Morimoto 3Five with XB35 H11B bulb (new design) - 5000K
Fog : DDM tuning 35W Slim Ballast - 3000K
Park light : Vleds 2 watts wedge LED
Note: Camera used is a Sony Nex5n full manual mode - Hand held. I sharpen a bit on some images, but I did not edit the beam intensity or color. FYI, the camera sometimes enhances faint light that our eyes could hardly see. One example is the " Squirrel Finder " It enhances a lot , specially when I took the picture outside the car. Most driver point of view captures less of this issue.
Reference: " Squirrel Finder " - It is a design (tiny light opening) inside the projector bulb housing , typically located below the beam metal shield Z pattern that enhances or direct light a bit higher to the main beam cut-off. The purpose is to direct light to road signs so it reflects back to the driver for night driving. You will not see this from the real HID Projector housing. The disadvantage of the real projector housing is some people get dizzy due to a very sharp beam cut-off that changes dramatically from more light to nothing as the car changes direction.
This is what I mentioned from the previous thread. Our parking lights produce this web like beam pattern . It enhances more due to the Vleds 2watts wedge LED (pics below)

All lights are on !
Driver`s point of view.
Outside- Beam Wall shot - I did adjust my low beam headlight by eyeballing it. I might have to lower the passenger side just a bit more. So far no one has flashed me yet driving for a week now.
Again, the camera has picked up or enhanced that squirrel finder (above beam cut -off). In reality, it is very faint light as you can see from pic above.
Fog lights on! (First pic, inside the garage less than 2 feet away from the wall)

Conclusion: This is the best setup we can get from the stock Projector bulb housing. As you guys can see, the beam width is lacking compare to retrofitting the projector bulb to real HID projector. If there is a local retrofitter here, I would not hesitate to change at least the projector bulb, but I am only willing to pay $400 max with my own HID kit supplied. But for the money, the Morimoto kit is the best so far for the stock projector bulb housing. The only responsibility from your end is to adjust the beam height on the driver side courtesy to the on coming traffic.
