He goes on to say that HID's are worse in perseption to "true color." This is completely wrong. HID lighting being full spectrum reflects ture colors a hell of a lot better than standard bulbs that spike on the orange red and yellow areas of the specturm.
This guy is out to push helogen bulbs. He's just a salesman not a scientist!

It is an accepted fact in the automotive lighting community that selective yellow is the best type of light for any conditions that introduce something for the light to reflect off of, ie rain, fog, or snow. This is because of the way the yellow light reacts when it strikes a reflective surface. HID lights mounted low in a fog pattern will seem like they light everything up really well, but if you pay attention you will see that you can not see as far as when they ar not on. You might have better definition on the road directly in front of the car, but your visible distance will be greatly reduced.
It doesn't change the fact that he is a salesman!!! No one on this site claims to be an expert on the subject!
I AM SITING SCIENTIFIC DATA, and INFOMATION based on lab tests, and those that studied in the field.
Go find on more creditible infomation.........then we'll talk
