just to kind of add to the argument, if you shop right you can have a nice retrofit for under $400-$500. Not much more than the $200-$300 you are paying for your HID kit. not much difference in price but a HUGE difference in light output, even if you don't mind putting an HID kit in a reflector housing there is no possible way that you can argue about the light output and beam pattern. it just doesn't compare period... however if you could care less about other people on the road then carry on...

Of course you're not worried about it...
...it's the oncoming drivers that are worried about it!

i do care, but its not as bad as u all think. ive never been flashed ever. u want to talk about safety, talk to the guys with painted reflectors..  , and plus in that picture, the dam silverstar is blinding the camera. Tonite on my way home, i was blinded by an escalades hid's.. i started to pull him over and talk projector lenses with him. projectors are better of course we all know..
