HIDs rock when in a proper setup....I dunno about retrofitting a car with them, though.

Unless you get a decent auto-leveling system and have the proper optics for the HID then they're just a danger to have on the road.

As stated earlier, in the proper setup they have LESS glare than normal headlights and increase the visibility for the driver using them. However in the wrong setup they'll just blind other drivers and be a nuissance.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're illegal as an aftermarket conversion in the near future, unless sold as a complete kit (proper headlamp assembly with proper bulbs and auto-leveling).

What I'd like to see is all new cars coming with HIDs.
