Yeah I hate ricer bullshit especially the ones that put 4300K HID's in their stock headlights thinking it causes less glare for other drivers.

Either do a proper retrofit or don't do it at all..

Know your **** before you speak **********.
I have not been high beamed once since I got my HID's last November. They are aimed properly and barely glare at all, the light output is in the correct spot, not all over the place.



4300K + yellow fog lights.

Know what glare means before you talk *** bucket. Look at the pic you've posted. There's so much glare up the *** on that fence to the point you can't even see the lines running down the fence. Just cuz you aimed the lights properly doesn't mean you won't be blinding oncoming drivers. The intensity of the light output itself without the use of a projector will still blind drivers no matter where the light output is being pointed.

Have you ever looked at projected HID's vs. non-projected HID's? You've probably never got high beamed before is because the drivers were blinded as **** and couldn't find the high beam switch.

Stop ricing it up and do a retrofit tough guy.

I know EXACTLY what glare is ***** breath. Of course you cant see the lines AT THE BOTTOM of the fence because that is where the light is being beamed at. If you look at the top you see minimal glare. Ill get some pictures of regular head lights being pointed at the same fence and youll see its almost the same.


I know exactly what projected HID's look like, and HID's dont need to be projected. Many cars out there have HID's FACTORY without a projector (IS300, Gen1 TL, etc). Now I know their head lights were made for HID's, but my point is, I glare very little.

I have a friend with 6000K HID's in his DC5 and that guy glares like theres no tomorrow. His light beam looks as if there is a stadium spec light on his hood pointing forward. He gets high beamed ALL the time and when hes driving behind someone, you can see his light on the persons rear seats, roof, mirror, etc.

The factory based HID reflector headlamps however are properly configured to handle the HID bulb. Yours is not one of those. There's a guy who did that retrofit of a reflector based system on his Accord, the results were pretty good.

In your picture you are what , like 6-10 feet away from that fence (basing it off the car next to you) ? Why don't you back it up a few car lengths and post a picture?

I've circled what your "minimal" glare is, and it is far from "minimal" and that's from the 10 feet away. Move further than that and it'll be ridiculous.




Factory HID lamps do NOT do that. Factory incandescent lamps do NOT do that to the extent yours are. Regardless of how you aimed your headlights that glare is going to be there. Now do casper shields help? Sure they do, but they're not going to make it perfect.

*edit* And while I'm sure you don't give a flying ****, putting HID lights in a non-HID is illegal. Regardless of if it is a retro fit or not. A retrofit just gets you less noticed.

*edit2*

To add to the discussion I ran a DDMTuning 3000 K HID slim kit in my foglights. They were low to the ground and were EXCELLENT projectors and I had an incredibly cut off with them, I was quite surprised. I was impressed with the kit, however I was not really impressed with their customer service, I ordered what was listed as an "in stock" item and after multiple phone calls and what not found out that they had been delayed twice or something, were sold out, all sorts of bull **** (that they never told me I found out after harassing them practically) then they shipped it to the wrong address and had to reverse that.

Sorry for straying off topic guys. I was just trying to make a point about what Arthas was posting.. hard trying to explain things to retards so I'll stop for now.. again.. sorry.

Back on topic: As Muffinman pointed out.. you're never going to get away from glare if you're going to stuff HID's in any type of headlight that is not designed for it.. simple as that.

If you look at pictures of guys on here that did the retrofits.. there's a big big difference of light output and cutoff compared to headlights stuffed with HID's. Do some research before attempting to just slap on a plug n play kit and thinking you're the *****... have fun.
