4th Generation To Retrofit or Not to Retrofit...????

Sup everyone !

Well.. I have come down to this dilema... Please read before you reply...

I have read a lot about HID's in regular halogen lamps causing a lot of glare, and the benefits of doing a Projector Retrofit, etc etc.....

My question is this..

If you lived in a country where there is absolutely NO CHANCE AT ALL that you will get pulled over or that you'll get a ticket because you're "blinding people" with your HID's....

Or if the time you spend on a highway at nights is practically none....

Would you still spend the time, money and effort to do a retrofit.....??

This is my case, thanks for the replies....

Id spend the money on a retrofit mostly for the looks. Sure HIDs are cool, but the look of projectors is just so sweet it makes the whole thing worth it.

My biased opinion would be to go with the projectors. The textured lens is guaranteed to cause plenty of glare and uneven light output. Even if it's no chance of getting caught at all without projectors, I'd still go with em.

If you sand down the glass, does that help the glare?
