So I'm confused. Is it worth it to change out halogen bulbs for HID's, given that A: You will likely blind other drivers with reflectors based on halogen technology, and B: the difficulty of swapping out the bulbs with HID's?

I've seen proper HID's on the road, with correct color temps (around 6500K), and they're managable. They look bluer than the yellowish tint of halogens, which I prefer.

yes it's worth it IMO. you can see 100% better with them. if you adjust the bulb, there will be minimal glare. i am blinded OFTEN by BMWs that have factory HID.
