HID are designed for cars with Projector headlights
If you do it on normal headlights (for older cars especially) , your light will shine ALL over except focusing on the road in front of you as you cannot attain the optimal focus spot. You only look bright but blind as a bat
Try driving your car when it rains .... not only your vision will be worst the oncoming vehicles will really "love" you
Retrofiting is illegal in US and Spore. Dont drive your car to Singapore, the police will flag you down.
Sorry to say this, I too will flash at you for being a road irritant.

I don't understand the frustrations with HIDs. I have personally encountered cars with HIDs and you might not agree with me, but what I observe is that, it is those with halogens that really blind me. Heck, some are with their high beams on, and some have their "low" beams on but they are still high!
Cars with HIDs don't really blind me. Most are properly installed and they are not blinding. In fact, I find it pleasant to the eyes. I can even stare directly at the some of the HID headlights.
It is those normal halogen bulbs that really blind me. Those with blue coated halogen bulbs, which produces which beams similar to those of HIDs, are still normal halogens and some are really blinding because people installed it wrongly.
Another thing is that, to my understanding, I don't think HIDs are only for projector headlamps. By projector headlamps, I am referring to those circle type of headlamps similar to that on the Proton Waja, the new BMW 5 Series and the like. To my understanding, HIDs can be used on different types of headlamps besides the projector ones. However, some headlamps would need special reflectors to produce a beam that is not blinding to people for certain angles. Correct me if I am wrong here, guys. :)

hahaha... i hope your(skywalker) comment are meant as a joke. That's a real irresponsible thing to do. That's why fights happen. What's the trouble of just moving aside and let them tru? Instead you choose to block them and make them angry or frustrated... Anyway, there's a lot of imported cars fitted with HID lights. Are you gonna block everyone of them? In anycase, if you really meant it as a joke then just ignore this... hahaha...
120Y, for your case... if you don't get flashed here in KL doesn't mean orang KL understand you. It's obvious that other road users find that your car's head light are a real nuisance. Just like what Scuderia said, unless you do something to ur headlight, be prepared to be flashed all the time.

Sorry, it should read as
"Retrofit" HID are normally designed for cars with Projector headlights i.e Waja
Most manufacturers use Projector headlights for low beam ( normally H1 or H7 ) and they have a separate Hi Beam.
If you utilise eg H4 HID which incorporate both the Hi and Lo beam - you will have problems esp when you try to Hi Beam. I believe these H4 retrofitted HIDs uses a vacumm operated reflector for Hi Beam... and sadly dont work very well.
Retrofitting it is also next to impossible to get the optimal focal point as compard to your standard factory fitted halogen even, therefore making driving in the rain a real pain too.
"Its like why MagLite sells .. your get focused light for distance and clarity"

You have to align back your headlamp.My cousin driving wira se with HID 6000K dun have any problem with it . i asked him personally either he has been flashed before because of his HID during his normal journey KL-Ipoh-Taiping and he said got not problem with incoming traffic.
