Don't do it with stock especially ek, it doesn't look good and too much glare, also draw cop's attention

I installed HID in my stock '00 EK. I could see everything perfectly but i pissed every person off who was coming towards me. Do a retrofit if you can.

I put HID in my wife's Integra. They look great, they don't blind the other drivers, and they don't both me when she's behind me. I've NEVER been flashed/High beamed, by another driver. But as you'll notice, they're 100's of idiots out there that with buy a 55watt HID kit when a 35watt is more than enough.
Also NOTE:
High beams are for distance, low Beam is for safe driving visibility... So don't angle them into the other lanes, high on the driver side, or anything else stupid like that.

I think they look good... Retrofit though, is 100x's better. A) Bad ***, B) Better Lights, C) Unique

I'd like to add that they'll also draw less attention to a likely modified car.

I swear that the projectors blind me more vs the hids in stock lamps. Maybe cause of the way they angled the projector?

retro fit is when you take xenon lenses from bmw's , acuras or any high end car with factory xenon lens projectors and retro fit them into stokc head lights.

im currently working on retro fit e39 (bmw 5 series) xenon lens into my Denji eg headlights...
