HID Shield Question

OK, this is for the HID experts out there. I made a shield to cover the bottom half of the bulb to block it from the high beam reflector. However, there is a really strong beam shooting straight out of the housing which is very bright. How do I block that? My shield is very reflective, should I paint it to reduce the glare, or perhaps add an extra shield to the front of the bulb? Thanks.

The kit I have comes with a beam adapter and it looks like it is black. Maybe you should paint it black?
Here is the link to the picture of the beam adapter beam adapter

Thanks, I've also seen ones with a small shield in front of the bulb, I don't know if that does anything.
