honestly thought...
how many people get in trouble for having HID's??????
hmmm.. next to nobody..
the ones that do have them aimed WAY WAY to high and are blinding the other drivers.
if they are aimed correctly they are so much better than factory lighting.
im not getting into a pissing match on this subject.

well my understanding on this subject is this, if you have a proper projector lens (the after market ones for our trucks are kinda borderline fuggly) designed for HID lamps (bulbs) they should perform better, assuming they are properly aimed...

Correct. the stock housings do NOT have the correct reflectors to run HIDs, therefor the light is scattered and blinds oncoming drivers

Technically you should add projectors to your headlights or get projector lenses off ebay... Here is where I would go for HIDs though. Top notch quality.
