Will a bi-xenon kit cause too much glare?

Before I fork it all down on a bi-xenon kit in the coming weeks; on OEM headlights, will it cause really annoying glare? I know it's best to retrofit with projectors, but I'm kinda' not liking the eBay projectors anymore. And I live in NY, so 5.5 gen HIDs are out of the question.

Oh it will be glare city if it really even looks right, but, since you dip the high beams anyway it shouldn't be big of an issue. As long as the low beam is ok i say let the highs glare.

Since you have the 00 maxima and your bulb application is h4 there will be less glare then if they were put into a 9004 headlight. Overall most H4 bulbs come with sheilds that reduce glare and point the light onto the road. Remember if you choose to go this route you woud always be able to aim your headlights lower if you feel your causing too much glare. Either way good luck.

Bah, I don't care about high beam glare/annoyance. The most important thing is if my lows are fine and it sounds like they will be. Woo!
