I'm planning on putting HID's in some stock housing headlights or some ebay projector headlights for my "back to 2Gb conversion" also. Rock on OP :banana:

i have researched, and after reading all i could, i decided this was the best way to go.

Alright, well, hope you guys don't cause any accidents, and hope you don't get pulled over.

I'm gonna do som HIDs myself prolly, I already have projector style headlights though, and i'm going to be going with probably 6k or 8k. Shouldn't piss anyone off I don't think.. prolly won't do them till next year though.

Regular halogen projector lenses makes more of a straight aimed beam with a cutoff with hotspots and HID projectors makes no beam but a wide 180° even light coverage area with a SHARP cut off to not blind people.

Good job, HIDs are the win, unfortunately without the proper housings it's pretty much doing more harm than good.
as for those who are concerned about glare, as i mentioned, ive already aimed them down. just be fuckin thankful that my galant isnt at stock height, or else youd be getting glare right in your eyes :P
Aiming or not, if you were to take a picture of your car shining the lights against a wall and compare it to a car like my Evo you will definitely see the difference and why everyone complains about the glare.

What's more dangerous, Pete's HID's, or you damn near spinning out on the On-Ramps in your Conquest last fall trying to get to my house?

And which one is going to happen every night with a daily driver. I will be the first to admit that I'm not perfect, and I was going to trailer it up there, but unfortunately my friend couldn't get a trailer from work.

Also, I don't intentionally make my car unsafe, I just have a rwd car with crappy tires on it, and had to drive it in the rain. Not an issue anymore though.

Also, "damn near spinning out" was a little oversteer, not an all out drift fest like you are making it seem like.

None of us are perfect, and most of drive cars, and drive in ways that could be considered "unsafe" at times. I don't find Pete's headlights to be as devastating to public safety as you're making it out to seem.

I'd have to imagine most cars on this site are illegal.
