It is innacurate and untrue to say that all HID retrofits are wrong. On the FR-S and xB I have done 6000K HID bulb installs and they are not blinding. Granted they are both projector headlights but they do have squirrel finders. The cutoff is a bit weird on the xB and I will check it even more but they don't all come out badly. I am 100% sure the FR-S is good.

Back to subject- I find some of the giant STI style wings hideous.

My teen daughter pointed out that in health ed they learn about STI's which my generation referred to as STD's.

Who wouldda known?

Right if placed into projector housings and aligned properly they can be done correctly, the problem is when they are placed into reflective housings
