The reflector will focus the light where it is supposed to go, it will align it (if the source is in the correct location). The reflector does not know (or care) how the light was generated, so it makes no difference to the alignment whether the source is tungsten, argon, halogen, HID, LED, Xenon or carbide. If your reflector is causing sufficient "side-scatter" to fail an MOT then it really does not matter what bulb you have, does it?
