So your justification for doing an incorrect installation and blinding others is by stating someone else does it, so why not you too?

It may look cooler to some but it isn't going to make you see any better. HID lights require a different housing than a halogen bulb to produce a useful beam on the road. This morning I was just beside an Altima with the typical cheap HID install (HID kit in the standard halogen housings). My 89 Jetta with the stock headlamps threw out a better beam on the road than that crap setup in the Altima.

Opening up headlights is very easy. If you take your time the retrofit is somewhat easy as well. In fact, the newer the car is the easier it is to separate the housing since the sealant is still fresh and super pliable. I've done this many times on brand new cars and old cars...it is much easier on a new car.
