So is this all a bad idea unless you buy projectors? I've read in so many places that the glare from these in stock housing designed for halogen lighted is just horrible.
Should one buying a kit get the H9 fitted bulbs and get a set of Hella 90mm? It seems like this is the only way to go if you want to do it right, correct?

The glare is bad but you can minimize by buying the correct D2R bulbs and aiming them properly. I had HID's in reflectors for a year with no problems what so ever..

taken from a thread in Aesthetics.. hereOriginally posted by cvkillacontour98:
i had some extra money so i had purchased one of those low priced hid kits on ebay. its made by pilot 9006 6000k. the kti was liek $170. mounting the ballast was probally the hardest part of the install. plus i was doing it outside at midnight. it was all plug and play, but i had to check the polarity of the factory bulb plug. the harness that came with the kit allowed the factory bulb plug to go either way since the polarity can be different from car to car. i also upgraded the low beam fises to 15amps on each one. only think that im not satisfied with is the color. i was expecting a more whiter color from 6000k. i think i will have to upgrade to 4300 as some as i get some extra $. i can actually se that my lights are on when im passing through a street that is lit up. other than the color of the light every thing else is cool. except for my silver star high and fogs looks like regular lights to me now.
