Those lights look like they have one hell of a glare. Might want to aim them down or take them out.

Whenever you take photos of headlights (especially HID's), there appears to be much more glare then there really is. Even a photo of a factory HID install is going to look similar, at least with the cheaper cameras.

ugh i think you got it wrong... I think you are referring to hid look a like halogen bulbs as hids...

The "conversion kit" should be the actual hid product.

maybe he bought a 'HID-look-alike' halogen bulb? cause from the pic, the light output concentration is similar to regular halogen bulbs (in the center two spots).

are those HID-lookalikes less blinding and glare?

maybe i can get those look-alikes instead of a real HID conversion kit, which will blind the hell out of people. lol

What a little lack of understanding.....

The MTEC/Piaa/etc. bulbs are coated to give you a whiter or bluer light at a slight reduction of lumens/output.

Putting a HID bulb/kit in stock headlights, either projector or reflector lenses does not change the light concentration/pattern. It will be more blinding to other drivers unless it is aimed straight at the ground.

Yes.

Yes, if you want to be considerate to others...........
