There is a little glare with my 6000k, but I haven't been flashed once since I reaimed them a month ago. My brother hasn't been flashed with his 5000k either.
What we did was mark the stock bulbs and aim the HIDs a little lower. Then I drove our moms Vic to make sure there wasn't a lot of glare following someone.

It's sad to see so many people just dropping in HIDs into the stock reflector. They don't perform well, they look horrible (ricer glare, anyone?), and glare in your face just sucks. You can aim them down as far as you want, you will always have glare. HID bulbs produce an arc of light, while halogens produce a very straight, thin line. The reflector of the F150 is designed for the halogen, and putting the wide arc of the HID in there creates all kinds of refracted light in all directions. You really want to drive toward this??

If you want HIDs, do it the right way. Retro-fit FTW.

I just installed the ddm tuning 35w 9007 hi/low 6000k in my truck and the light pattern is scattered I have the lightning style headlights. does everybody else look real scattered or is it just me? Is it the housing i had philips night guide halogens before and the were extremely bright and a nice pattern. is there a way around this or should I just return them
