Also the original silver reflectors reflect 95% of the light, chrome reflectivity is only around 65%. The new polished aluminum is 90% reflective. I went from none focused 65% reflectivity to 90% focused lighting. The resulting outcome was like magic.
That was the problem I found with LED's. The light emitter wasn't at the same spot as the Halogens so the focus was way off.
