Glare wasn't that significant, and I haven't had any cops pull me over. Those pictures are an extreme exaggeration.

Spend the extra money on the Xtreme HIDs. They'll probably be more reliable and any warranty problems will be taken care of easily. If you don't like the blue-ish color, stick with 4300k.

but there was glare nonetheless...
anything above 5,000K will be a waste of money

If i had a dollar for everyone with HIDs who said "wasnt hardly any glare!!!111"

Are we all talking about HIDs in the Honda Civics? It sounds like HIDs may be a problem in a lot of other cars but that Civics handle them well... or better than the vast majority of other cars at least.

And that is good enough for me.

The one question still lingering in my head is how long the SS Ultras last compared to an HID kit(Xtreme).

every car forum says the same thing.
everyone else has glare....but ours do great!

watch the HID lights, then compare it to all the other cars.

Ok so there's a glare. Damn. It's not nearly as bad as other assholes on the road though so I'm sure I'd still be able to sleep at night.

I still would like to know about the life expectancies of the two things... SS Ultras and Xtreme HID's.

Thank you.
