Not feeling the interior lights either, too bright.

if your getting blinded, because those people are getting cheap ebay HID's,
there are good ones that have proper shields and will light the road while having the light not blind others, some of my friends have hid's in reflector housings and they don't blind people, in fact one of my buddies with a stock acura TSX with OEM HID's is more blinding than the after market hid's

It is extremely selfish when people are willing to put the safety of others on the road, for their own personal satisfaction of having blue headlights. Do some research, and educate yourself. You will be glad you did.

i want to educate myself. after all that jargon you just posted about how HID'S NEED a projector, can you explain the 2003 Acura TL? came factory with HID D2R ballast and all. should i print this out and tell Acura they MUST! do a free retrofit for me?

lol no. i also firmly believe in retrofitting projectors before going HID. (and i did) But i for one still don't understand why the TL has no projector, but has stock HID Xenon bulbs.
