I see better, no one is hurt or blinded.....am I missing something? I have seen HID installations that are sub-par, but a lot of aftermarket HID are nice. Here are some pictures that are not really that great taken from my camera phone, unfortunately the true output of the lighting can't be captured at night, but pretty much everything gets illuminated about 50 yards + - and several yards on either direction......without blinding oncoming traffic  (the lights may look blue, but they are actually white, combination of taking pitures at night in conjunction with a camera phone). |
The light directly in front of the car looks horrid. Just saying, no offense. My 33 year old euro low specs do better than that. 
Anyway a bi xenon retrofit involving projectors is the only way to go, and even if you go that far you still need to vaccu-form new plastic lenses without the flutting in them.
I'll attach some pics I borrowed from hidplanet. This is a vehicle that did not come new with HID's, it was a proper retrofit. I will be doing this very soon, with my vaccum leveling euro lights, as well as installing washer squirter's in the bumper. In theory it will still be illegal though.
