^ Amen to that. There's a good reason for it too.
The headlight reflector is designed to aim the light forward in two situations:
1) In low beam, where the light emanates from closer to the bulb tip, which is just forward of the main locus (focal point) of the reflector. Having the light source forward of the locus helps the light to scatter and the shield stops the light from reaching the eyes of the oncoming drivers.
2) In high beam, the filament creating the light is smack bang in the locus of the reflector, so that the light is projected forward as far as possible (in the Navara, that's about two air hockey fields long).
The problem with HID is evident from this. The light emanates from the entire length of where the two halogen filaments are, so you get both a focussed, intense light source, together with a scattered light. That's why ADR requires lenses in front of HIDs - the lens will take the light and focus it properly.
