Livie: You do realize that all the Hybrid are not HID factory installed, you said that your HID is real. i believe it is not, if you get the HID lights without the Conversion Kit it will not match the Power of the Halegon Lights (in fact, it will burn the wire). Can i see your HID (real) Lights if you can take a picture of it. Because My HID light it is really birght and it helps me to see the road really much much better.
Anytime to answer the question here...

Well... I said my MINI has HIDs... which I know they are real because I ordered it that way and I can see that they are not halogen bulbs made to look like HIDs not mention the ballast on each head light. So I don't know what you are asking?
My only point is that non-hid lights that you can buy that are HALOGEN bulbs do not output the same amount of light as their HALOGEN (non filtered) bulb counterpart. The thread is about HID-type halogen lights which means they are NOT HIDs at all. They only "look" like them.
For example my FOG (on my Mini) lights are not HID lights but the ones from the factory look odd against my HID headlights... so I bought a pair of H11 PIA (that match the color of my headlights) and installed them. Now my lights all match but I did notice that they are not (fog lights on by themselves) as "bright" as the H11s (oem factory) that I replaced. Meaning they are dimmer then their replacement when lighting up the road. Conclusion... HID look alike bulbs that are not really HID at all, do not output the same level of light as their HID (real) counterpart or their OEM halogen counterpart.
