ebay hids on non projector headlights SUCK! i pity all those who drive in the lane opposite of mine, for they shall see nothing.

Your statement doesn't make sense. Any HID with a reflector housing and a scatter lens can be blinding to oncoming traffic. eBay HID's are the same construct as OEM HID's. The difference is in the ballast. OEM HID's have the ballast right behind the bulb and mount to the headlight, as where aftermarket kits are standalone. Also, my Celica is so low that the only thing getting blinded are animals.

Another common myth I wish to bust, the higher the number in HID doesn't mean the brighter it is. 4300k to 6000k are 3x brighter than halogen. These are the OEM HID color temp. 8000k to 12000k are 2x brighter. The color output is the only thing that the Kalvin rating is for. The different colors show better than others and a pure white or slight blue light up more than a deep blue or purple. They also blind oncoming traffic more.
