OP, are you running HIDs through a proper xenon headlamb assembly?

lol, i highly doubt it. the tC's housing is only halogen.

retro > all!

That easily explains him getting pulled over for any HID put in there.........

A halogen housing isn't made to handle the lumens output of HIDs, resulting in unfocused light, blinding EVERYONE coming at you

Ya, I realize that now, but at the time I put them in, I was told that if youre car is lowered and you re-aim the hids ... it wouldnt be that bad. I was obviously wrong.

I'd go to 6000k and get some of Bat's HID eyelid overlay, it will help with the glare.

LOL, ummm last I checked the eyeids don't reflect light. Those eyelids won't do anything. Glare should be comming from the bottom of the reflector.

They will help but not eliminate ALL the glare. There are more pics and some happy customers on this thread:

Im done with the hids. Just put in some Polarg halogens ... buying a C350 at the end of this semester anyway. No point in being a poser in the meantime.

selling these hids for $40 ... need to get rid of them before the "ricer" within me gets anymore ideas.
