Aren't you supposed to focus on the road instead of the oncoming car/headlights in front of you? That's what I remember being taught in drivers education.

Alright, I see that this would be as close to perfect as possible, but what if I dont want to invest that much time or say I don't have the know-how to do something like this comfortably? Are there any aftermarket housings that you can buy that come complete (that you recommend)? Ready to put your already purchased kit into, aim, and go?

Again...(so I dont get the verbal beating)
I am not asking for a cheapo amazon, ebay, wherever you can find them $100 set of garbage housings. Quality...At a cost. Would you recommend any? Do you know of any?

I found these:

Retrofit sells complete sets. You send in your heads, and they do the work.

I am pretty sure those are just projection headlights. I have them on my mustang and it just a fog light placed inside the headlight. Very low light output. They are not HID's

The white line is a fog line...you're not supposed to focus on the white line while driving.
