Uneducated on this you are. No insult, you just dont have the facts.

HID upgrades do not necessarily cause glare. The important thing to do is make sure they headlights are aimed right. MANY people see HID kits in cars where the owner also replaced the headlight assemblies at the same time as a sweeping upgrade. And they did not aim them right. This is mainly an aiming issue more than anything.

The only way to produce "glare" is if the kit is not aligned right. By that I mean the light output source (the arc) is not in the specified location of the standard halogen lamp that is in spec. When this happened the light is out of focus. This is not a common issues, the vast majority are aligned right but those super cheap kits have a higher risk of poor production/alignment.

Its simple really. Light is light and if its emitted from the same location it will react the same way when hitting the reflectors, glass, etc. But if the light is not in the same position, it will be out of focus. Its that simple. If you think that ALL hid kits cause glare then you are likely old and already have poor vision and probably even think silver stars are HID upon seeing them, and those certainly will be in focus!
