Either doing a complete headlight swap or a retrofit is your best option. I had HID in my EK and i pissed everyone off that was coming towards me. So i swapped it out for a headlight with projectors.
Do you know where the headlamd aiming screw is?

I have a set like that but the only thing is that the cut off line for these projectors is not as clean as if you did a retrofit conversion. I only got these because I needed something to take the glare off of the lights that I had. You can adjust the stock lights that you have now but you still might blind some people coming towards you. Your best bet is to do a retrofit but this can be more expensive than just replacing the headlight housing

well yea...retrofit would be the best solution. but if all he wants to do is reduce glare, and keep his HIDs, then TYC projectors would be the best option.
I have TYC projectors on my 01 Civic & stock projectors on my 96 Integra. Civic actually has a really nice/thick blue cutoff. Both are somewhat comparable (like 90%) to my mom's 2007 Lexus ES.
Of course, if OP wants the best output, S2K, TL, and other premium projectors would be ideal. But will cost $500+ in parts, and require labour/expertise OP may not have. ionno...

add a shield on the top section of the bulb to block the light from going upwards.
cut a small sheet of thisn metal, bend and attach. you can attach inside the light housing or on the bulb, whatever is easier for you. i forget what the headlight housings look like, some already have a little shield where the bulb slides into, you just have to add to that if yours has it, if not then make one.
other option is add in projectors.
some hid bulbs come with a shield attached.
