there are definately hot spots. You will not get optimal light output by putting a hid kit in your stock headlights, the light output however is still VERY VERY good and a MARKED inprovement over stock..

this was my dc2

i seriously don't think its the light, its just the weathering of the plastic after the harsh years in the sun
