Christmas is coming up and my girlfriend asked me what I wanted, I thought about HIDs but people tell me that aftermarket HIDs cause a glare and I really want a stock look. I was wondering who has aftermarket HIDs on their GS and does it look good.

 

i had aftermarket Hid, produced too much glare and was really hard to drive in fog/rain.
Got fed up so I removed it and converted to OEM HID housings.

 

I have 6000K Phillips HIDs, and there is some glare (that straight cutoff line of the light beam that HID housing gives you does not really exist) but its definitely an upgrade compared to stock halogen bulbs. They light up the road much more, and i don't find it difficult to drive with at all, in any weather condition.

 

if your going to do it with your OEM housing make sure you use D2R HID. Those are reflective oppose to D2S which is for projector lights.

 

What brand were the aftermarket HIDs.

 

Don't forget, some are going HID retrofit which lets you get the best of both worlds
