well aftermarket HID kits are illegal in headlights not intended for HID's. I personally like them but less than 6000K anything about that is too blue and looks a bit ricey. the thing with having HID's in halogen headlights are the glare. Other drivers would get blinded by the light. Lowering it would help a bit with that problem. I got 4500K from DDM Tuning.

To add to that, since the reflectors inside the headlight are not designed for HIDs, not only will they create a lot of unwanted glare, they'll also scatter the light pretty much everywhere except where you need it. It tricks you into thinking the light output is better, but I have yet to encounter a nighttime driving situation where I needed to see the tops of the trees along the road. Too much foreground lighting is also not great, since you don't need to see 5' in front of you, you need to see 20'+ in front of you at the closest.
Basically, retrofit OEM HID projectors into your housings or keep the halogens.

Oh, that's a great idea! So instead of having one person driving towards another person that can't see, we're going to have two people driving towards each other that can't see! I don't see how anything bad could happen in that situation.
