We agree and disagree.
ALL bulbs come with a base with notches to fit the particular design. Agreed?

The hid bulb had the correct base for the lamp. Agreed?

DO the hids come with instructions on correct aligning? (No)
(this is assuming that you can REALLY, honestly and with 100% accuracy, hand align an hid bulb)

The test is NOT to re-align every bulb to achieve success. Agreed? (understand a 'test' is to determine if a given product works as purchased......not how a smarter person would adjust it.)

That is why....it's illegal and why it fails. That is the point.
you can 'want him' to align the bulb....but that is not how things are tested.

Next,
Not sure where you get the 3x from. PLEASE ( for the third time) look at the hand written failed numbers....one is 19TIMES brighter.
There is a standard design perameter set up for lamps. the hid in the halogen lamp is 19x too bright.
Again, answer the simple question...Does the lamp generate the multiple or is the hid bulb 19x too bright?
