This results in a large amount of glare for other drivers on the road, and less usable light for your buddy to see where he is going at night.

as this may be somewhat true, i have put hids in many stock housings and they are fine. yes there is a little scatter but there was scatter with the old lights but u dont notice as much cuz they arent as bright.
there is no "halogen housing" and "hid housing" projectors r best for hids but hids r fine in stock housings. i have hids in my 2nd set of diffewrent housings and im in the process of swapping in a projectors because i can. not cuz the light is better, its just cleaner lines and not much scatter. so if u wanna spend 40 on silverstars or 50 on hids and ur in the air, go hid.
