This is what causes the scatter and subsequent blinding of oncoming motorists.
But going back to your post, my above statement is mute because no HID bulb I have even seen or used has the arc in the exactly the right location for either lo or hi beam. fitting HIDs to a H4 bulb based bike is counter productive and not recommended. Only bikes with fixed bulbs, eg H1/H7 or projector benefit from HID (albeit with some scatter as mentioned above)
For the fazer LED spots are the way to go.
