Thanks goes to Clarence for the kit and setting me straight by getting 6000K instead of 8000K. Exactly what I was looking for.

Yeah, HIDs are the way to go, give out absolutely awesome light.

Once you get HIDs, there's no turning back once you've seen the light...
lol. That was such a bad pun. I love it.

HIDs are sick but ive found when i go driving every fucker (Pardon my french) Smacks me with their high beams thinking ive left them on. Thats the only down side ive gotten from the HIDs other than that they provide so much more light than Halogens are give the car a better look

It's cos your car has reflector headlights, so it does scatter light everywhere. the BE/BH headlights are notorious for this.

No way to address it, it's a design flaw of reflector headlights.

You could try using tint film for your headlights. Unfortunately it will reduce your illumination and make your headlights look a bit yellow. Hmm, what about blue tint film?

Or you could aim your headlights lower

or you could buy that set of factory HID headlights off Shano (or has he sold them already?)

Looks like you need some LED parkers as well to match those nice HID's
Surely there must be some company in Japan that makes projector head lights for Gen 3's... Of course, Shano's OEM HID option is probably the best way to go
