One more thing...so bought a HID kit from a place. Asked for 8k 35W. Installed it quickly in the parking lot of the shop, got all done and noticed they gave me one 8k bulb, and one 6k bulb -____- so the guy had to re-order it and the whole 8k will be in tomorrow. so for now this is how im driving lol

Projectors are really worth it. If you run hids in the stock housings at least aim them down. But I dont care what anyone says they still glare just not as bad. But the light output isnt as good as it would be with projectors and oncoming drivers would be much happier if you had projectors.

Yeah they are in the stock housings. I honestly couldn't get myself to drop $300+ on projectors. These HIDs work fine for me.

Those lights bother other people. If you really don't care then I guess you're just an inconsiderate *******.

Maybe. But I agree with him. I hate the glare coming off of standard halogen reflector housings with HID kits. Cobalts do have glare issues with the reflectors. Aiming them down does help but it also reduces the amount of light out infront of you.

So it honestly is inconsiderate and unsafe.

I just dont feel like spending $300-400+ on some projectors at the moment. There's other stuff that has more importance to me, lol
