Default HID in 92 LS400? Will it be VERY BLINDING?

I want to get an HID kit for my 92 LS, but I'm not sure whether or not I will completely blind people or whether it will just be kind of brighter.

I had a 00 Accord with a 6000K kit and they were ok, put the kit in my gf's Camry and they are fine also. They were 9006's though.

My friend had a Maxima with an HID kit, I'm not sure which size, but his kit was more like driving around with High beams on 24/7 I definitely do NOT want to get HID's if they will aim like that.

I don't expect a sharp cut, but does anyone have pictures or know how bad it will be if I get HID's? I don't want too much scatter, but afraid of how they will align with the LS' headlight pattern, and also how much scatter lighting there will be.

worse comes worse, you'll have to angle the headlights down more. Still i think a retrofit is the only way to go.

There hasn't been any retrofits done on the 1st gen LS yet, that I know of.

Our lenses are not clear, so it would be retarded to get HIDs & projector beaming through muddy lenses.

Lexkost is working on a plan though...

I have 6000k HIDs in my 93 LS and I love them...beautiful.
