I think the lens and the assembly has a lot to do with the projection of the light. I see a lot of cars with aftermarket HID kits and most are extremely blinding at night. The light just doesn't seem to project very well. It is almost as if the light is being blocked by the lens instead of being dispersed forward evenly. A car equipped from the factory with HID or a good conversion is a worlds difference apart.
