aftermarket hid beam patterns?

Hey guys, Im a corolla driver but I was thinking about buying a 4300k hid kit for a 2009 camry as a gift. My question is how bad/good is the beam pattern utilizing the stock halogen projectors? What do you guys think? Does anyone have pictures?

I searched and found tsx retrofit threads with great pics, but very few legit beam pattern pics for the plug and play kits.

most people say 4300 to 5000 is the best for brightness

he has a 2009 so basically a gen 6.
everybody will say to you cover the squerrel spotter on the projector halogen to lessen the glare and you'll be fine.

lol. Thanks for the reply. What the heck is a squirrel spotter and does it require opening the headlight assembly?

I think a aftermarket pnp kit is decent on the camry.
It's at least got a form of projector so it's not as bad as reflectors.
With/without the squirrel spotters covered it will be less blinding than say a civic.

I decided to be nice today since the weather is really nice out. I can finally go to class with just a t-shirt
