Thats the nature of these, the parabol is all blacked out, so it wont reflect the light.

The low beam has a reflective parabol as far as i know.

Theres nothing you can do, the black parabol wont reflect xenon light either.

Not on these. Having them chromed will just be a waste of money. Just save up a bit and do an H1/H4 conversion, or, if you are set on ellipsoids, get euro smileys.

If you try xenon bulbs in the lowbeam i doubt you'll ever care to use the high beams again. They light up a good portion of the road with xenons. I'll post a few pictures of mine when i get my camera back if you want.
