This seems too good to be true. If the seller had a higher rating I might consider it.

I'm not done with "you don't seem to understand what the reflector does", actually. 8)
The light is absolutely focussed, in the same (general) sense that the light from a projector is focussed; that is, it is directed from a source in some specific intended pattern. By moving the light source away from the focal point of the not-actually-parabolic reflector, you are going to change the distribution of the light in a fashion not part of the original design. The end result may or may not work as a headlight (fitment issues aside), but it won't be working as designed. |
