The H4 is known for its glare but believe me the H4 kit comes with a metal shield that gives the light a nice cutoff. And for those complaining about the glare ask them if theyre using the right or proper kit lol

Check out the HELIOs Bi-Xenon kit you wont be dissappointed

The glare is fine. I have the Helios 6000k H4 Hi/Lo Kit. I've had it for 4 months or so now and I have never been flashed once. I often drive my dads 2003 and his new 2006 BMW which has the most amazing cutoff and I am flashed probably once out of every three times I drive in his car which I find kind of odd but it's the truth...I didn't even lower my headlights once I installed them and I have had no trouble with police or other drivers. Obviously the cutoff on my kit isn't very straight but I can see at least twice as well as I could with my PIAA Xtreme White H4 bulbs, it was relatively cheap, I didn't lose my high beam function, and they look awesome as well so you can't really lose in my opinion. I just cared about good visibility, good looks, and being kind to other drivers (not as much but still enough) and this kit has satisfied all of those...ppl will criticize and say you can't put a ruler to the cutoff but if you're looking for what i was then you'll be fine with this kit...I posted a video a while back of them in use from different angles and I put a link here along with a picture if you want to check it out.
