Then I stand correct, so it will be brighter 180 degree but not where you need it (on the ground)

you probably mean you took off the shield that is right in front of the bulb. the reflector is behind the bulb. taking off the reflector would scatter the light all over the place.

i have JDM heads w/ dual HID. that means that my low beams are shielded (like the USDM heads) but my high beams are pretty much bare bulb surrounded by a chrome reflector. so that u can see the difference here is a pic w/ the low and hi beams on at the same time. the low beams are almost unbearably bright but the hi beams are painful to look at. the low beams are on the outside and the hi beams are on the inside.
