HID's anyone tried it?

So, i've been wanting to get HID's for the new matrix.. but dont know how the output would be.. would it be the same as the previous version of matrix? I definitely dont want glare of course...

i want to do a retrofit but couldnt find any aftermarket headlights.. anyone has done it before?

I seen them before on the road on a white matrix but wasnt in front of it to see whether its glaring or not...

of course there's going to be glare...it's not meant for hids. if you want to do it right, get a set of real projectors whether from tsx or bmw and retrofit it into your headlight. you'll get superior lighting. but it's a lot of work to do tho lol
