Default What headlights is everyone running with HID'S

Id like to run true HID'S, with projectors, but I'd like to stay away form the "HALO", I think it looks kinda cheezy IMO.

I've heard that the sotck headlights suck with HID'S, because of a glare or somthing.

Yea most stock headlamps are not designed to project the light from an HID, so it tends to scatter. Thats where you get the complaints of blinding people. Like my friends maxima that came with HIDs stock, when he pulls up to a wall it projects a solid straight line all the way accross the top. If you did it to our OEM assemblys it will project light above this line (blinding people like high beams)

I really have no idea man, i saw the halos on a silverado and liked it last night so im lookin into getting some myself. But just worried about them looking to Rice Burner and having a bad seal. And yea if your gonna do HID do it right with the projectors.

Not too worried bout the blinding effect, was more worrieed about if the beam was very messy, or if came outclear with a good pattern on the stock headlights, how do you like you 10K's thats what I was thinkin about getting.
