I think you'll still have plenty of glare. After you see what a projector can do i dont think you'll even consider those "kits" anymore.

No glare my a$$. Every HID reflector housing ive come across still has a load of glare. Only way to eliminate glare without losing a bunch of light, is Single or Bi-xenon projectors.

if you're using a proper HID H4 setup you shouldn't have much glare. But if you're using those black style cefiro headlights, with a ghetto azz HID kit then, the eyelids might help some.

What's your defintion of a H4 HID? H4 halogen housing equipped with a HID kit im assuming. HID reflector housings out there are equipped with a D2R bulb. I know you can take the 2000 maxima H4 Reflector housings and put a D2R bulb in there, but thats still not that great of a beam pattern.

Show me proof of a H4 Halogen housing that can handle a D2S/D2R bulb well.

And I know we're talking about HID and not halogen, but it involves a Halogen reflector housing, so that still exists.

Ill look for some beam pattern pics of a H4 HID setup, and ill post them.
have you seen a 2k maxima housing with a shielded D2r or D2s? The beam patter is actally pretty good compared to D2R. Once again ill post some pictures when I find them.

my bad, I thought you were saying that the H4 setups were better than some D2S setups (projectors).... I can see some being better than some D2R setups, because Ive seen a few cars that give off terrible glare (Older Acura TL, Escalade, etc).

Still interested in the pictures.

If you are going to use H4 HID bulbs then make sure you get some H4 Casper shields with them.
