    i dont have HID but i have ultra blue globes and am always getting flashed at night. i dont know if its just me but when a car with bright lights is coming down the road i cant help but look at the lights and blind myself haha.

    On the topic of headlights, I'm currently looking around for new headlight units and I'm steering towards the angel eye projector lights, can anyone give me any pros/cons about these from experience?
    Cheers.

    can be dodgy quality pending brand and where they come from
    make sure to suit RHD as well...

    As long as you fit the headlight washing system and the automatic levelling as well.

    hmm, what about if I just fit normal bulbs into the projector housing? I'm really just after the looks, not the functionality of the lights. I would still need to adjust the level to suit RHD right? but don't need the washers

    If you get a LHD (i.e. "right hand traffic") Xenon light housing, you cannot get the correct cutoff if you fit them to RHD car.

    All you can do is flatten the light pattern..so instead of this _____/ pattern , you can only change it to _______ .

    You can't get the correct RHD pattern like this: \_____ .

    The factory Xenons only have provision to remove the cutoff if you are driving on the other side of road in another country as a temporary measure.
