HID's on the way

So i ordered 6000K 9006 HID kit,
My main concern is blinding people, i was thinking of facing them down.
anything else i should look out for?
OH!!!
and the daytime running lights, should i disable them or keep them on, to be honest I dun drive much and I dun mind paying for a new set, but trying to get your guy's opinions

u have HAVE to cut the daytime running lights
1.It will burn out your HID
2.Drain your battery
3.its not good for your head lights (makes them yellow)

yeah i have Hid the full kit and it does blind the shit out of people.. people high beam me all the time.. nothing i can really do i angles it down to the max i could.

Ive been considering doing that also although I dont like being annoyed from other people's bright lights in my face or mirrors but these stock lights really dont do well unless on lighted streets. On dark streets and highways a dog or deer could be in the road and you wouldnt know it until it was too late to stop unless no one was coming in the other direction to where you could run the brights but it is rare to not have traffic around where you can use the brights in my area.
