I've placed a set of HID blue headlights into my 95 Prelude, and noticed they are less bright than the yellow globes. After analysing it, I noticed the *** inside the headlights (like all headlights of normal cars) that covers the globe is too large. Since the blue globe emmits the light closer to the tip of the globe than the yellow one, most of the light is trapped by this ***.

Does anyone have a effective and easy solution to this problem?
Can this *** be replaced with a civic ***? because I noticed the *** inside the civic headlight is smaller (and the globe is much brighter in there)
Can I take the *** out and shave it down?

 

heres the "k" for your ***
