people who say no are just complainers.. jk

It works, and does not blind people. Few friends have my HID kits i sell and i am not blinded at all with them behind or comming at me. Yes they are MUCH brighter but by no means blinding me.

They work. The light just scatters more. They can be blinding depending on how your headlights are aimed I guess. You're best bet for HIDs is retrofitted projectors but those are really expensive. I have a set and they are worth every penny, though.

Also, in for HID police lulz.

if you go HID's in stock housing you will have to get 9007 bulb size and when you install them point the bulbs downwards so it wont blind people lol

Im running 6K's in mine right now just Im too poor for retrofits. At first I was getting flashed like crazy by on coming traffic.....I aimed them down a bit and havent had a problem since.

Light output is great compared to stock.

But with that said I will be getting retrofits or projectors because that is the proper way to do it.
