you can't do anything with just a lens. you have to buy a complete projector unit to even start thinking about retrofitting

b) TYC have a cheap lense that causes a lot of glare
Ok a) is do-able if you have any type of motor skills and a drill, so lets ignore that one.
b) is my concern, what glare are you guys talking about ... and also are you guys over-reacting. Like for instance, I know many people on the site that say lowering their car causes them to have horrible creaking and popping - and it's just not worth it.
But my cars lowered and my drop doesn't pop or creak at all.
So I'm wondering if this glare thing is just a "hypocondriac" reaction to HID conversion kits. I mean, is it really something horrible - that makes your car undrivable OR is it simply just a personal preference blown up to massive proportions?
*********************
I mean really what I am concerned about is getting more light than my stock halogens. HID's I know are going to be a hell of a lot brighter - even with a conversion kit and TYC's instead of a full out retrofit.
So is this glare really for the people looking at the car ? Or is this glare really going to effect my visibility at night ?
Also, for dark spot in front of my car - I have a set of OEM fog lights to put on this spring too, so that dark spot shouldn't be a factor.
Anyone with comments ?
