Hey guys,

I was going to get HID as my next upgrade. I was all ready to just buy the HID kit and install it and call it a day, but after reading intellexual net · m k i v in the sticky, I am now keener about not doing it half-assed (I don’t want to blind or anger the oncoming traffic). I also want a clean cutoff, and my impression is that a regular HID kit would not be able to offer that.

So then I started reading up on projectors and retrofits…and sorry to say I’m still quite confused about what physically needs to be done. Courtesy of leetcoder: http://www.cputr.com/cars/hid13.jpg - I don’t really understand how people install the shroud in the original headlights, and whether any additional wiring or sizing is required.

D Element HID Bixenon Projector Retrofit Headlights System w/CCFL Ring If I go for this package (dislike for the halo aside), do you think I would be able to achieve clean/no-glare light with sharp cutoff?

I did search and read up on some. Sorry bout the noob question.
