You probably bought a crappy HID kit and the bulbs don't have anti-glare shields built into them. You can buy just the shield and install it onto the bulb itself, this should keep people from flashing at you.

Either way, HIDs look like poo in a reflector-type housing, which is what EP3s have. You can buy the JDM/EDM projectors, but be prepared to spend $500+.

Also if your car is lowered you may need to readjust your headlights to accomodate the new angle of the lens.
