To get the full potential out of hids you are going to have to retro projectors in. With your kit you are going to glare. Thats the shinning you are seeing. You make a casper shield for it to cut down glare or get projectors.

retrofit ftmfw

seriously though, just take out your hids now if your not gonna go all the way

hids in our stock housings scatter the light everywhere, and having no concentration like that you could get from retrofitting projectors, no matter how you aim your headlights you will hit the tops of trees and completely kill the car's rear view mirror in front of you
