If ya aint gonna retrofit it right do all the rest of us a favor on the road that do not enjoy being blinded and don't do it at all. It doesn't matter how cool you look or how well you can see when you have some poor blinded sap rammed into your nose.

lol, thats why i still have the factory headlights with slightly better than stock bulbs. it pisses me off when someone coming the other way has projectors that dont project so well or these junk e-bay headlights that blind everyone. once in a while a new BMW or Merc with projectors goes by and it looks like it only has park lights on, no glare at all, thats what i want!
