I believe you can get a universal glare shield, but i'm not sure how well they work. Also, I think it depends on the brand/quality as well as your adjustments post-installation.

A while back, I was in front of this integra and it was EXTREMELY annoying how bright it was... to the point I hoped he would be driving behind a cop so that he'd get ticketed for it. Make sure you don't blind other people on the road.
