not sure if this is a DIY question..

If your so concerned about glare and getting pulled over then why didn't you do a retro before installing the HIDs?

^^because it's mad expensive! lol
that's why i didn't do a retro at least

3000k is FTW. Wish I had the balls to drive with yellow low beams.

- because my daddy wouldn't let me tear apart his new tl-s for the retrofit.

mine are 3k yellow right now, but i decided to go with the 8k this time around. will post pics after tonights install...8/12

wrong. blackhousing has nothing to do with how the light is reflected, only the turn signals. if it did, im sure none of us would do it due to lack of light after its been done.

There was a noticeable difference in light output when i black-housed my headlights, and then i noticed an even worse output when i flat blacked my second set of black-housed headlights, so it does make a difference.

ive never noticed any substantial difference, but maybe thats just me.

It might just be the camera, but you've got some glare going on.

Just drive it around for a week, see if you piss anyone off

 

[NashvegasCG]

yes its my phone...

oh, camera phones will do that like crazy.

It might not be that bad in real life, but without a better pic its hard to tell.
