Okay, so I know the $900 projectors are the best and easiest and all, but I ran across this kit to do HID. Has anyone used anything like this? Could I plug them right into my low beams? Or would it blind everybody? It looks almost plug and play. Would my stock lens scatter the light upwards too much? Would projectors of some kind be necessary in order to direct the light?

Not all factory HID bulbs are in projectors. D1R, D2R, etc... are in a reflector housing. There is no legal way to do it. The projectors aren't DOT approved, not to mention they have the wrong cutoff. So go buy a car with factory HID if you want HID lights. Even then there's still glare. That Audi was still worse than any of the ricer kids, aside from trucks that have them anyway. I suffer from light sensitivity as it is, so I've learned to look to the side of the road when there's oncoming traffic. One thing you can do to get improved visibility, legally and responsibly, is to use HIR bulbs. What I plan on doing.
