Everyone knows that aftermarket HID kits emit glare, but the fact is that this "glare" hardly attracts any attention from oncoming traffic, let alone look like any of the pictures you posted above JDM. Of course the S2000 and STI have nice cutoffs, they got projectors... aftermarket HID kits are a cheaper alternative than spending more to get a retrofit done.

I understand your concern for glare, but have you ever seen oncoming projector HID's on a hill-side road? Since you're complaining about the lights being too bright for oncoming traffic, when a BMW or so is going uphill and then levels off, the HID's are brightening! Although the cutoff doesn't allow glare, on misshapen roads, HID's are just as distracting as HID kit, probably even more distracting.

Glare can be controlled by aiming your headlights.


*Edit: Compare JDM's pictures to Shmoo's pictures. The wallshots are completely different and SHmoo has almost no glare.
