I can call BS from idiots that come onto forums at state things that have heard, read, or dealt with on the 1-2 HID Kits they owned. As said before, to have a clean cutoff, then projectors are the way to go. The small amount of spread that goes beyond the cutoff on halogen housings will not be "blinding" people if your headlights are properly aligned to the correct angle. This is what 99% of people do not do, so when you see a car shooting to high, you are chalking it up to some "ricer" that put a HID kit into a halogen housing. This does not make it true, sorry. On top of this, looking at the vehicle you drive, you are going to be much lower than most people because you 1) have a low to ground small car, and 2) it looks lowered. So you will be blinded by a good deal of cars because you choose to make your car lower than stock. The same when I have jacked up trucks riding behind me with normal halogen bulbs...they are shining right into my window. There are too many factors involved that can cause someone lights to blind people, so to chalke it all up to 1 reason and label them ricers shows me you have very little experience in them. Also, I would seriously look at your own vehicle before you call someone a ricer because you have a ricey vehicle. I am not saying it doesn't look good because it does, but tons of people would label you a ricer.
    lolol! Is it the Ohlin coil-overs, rollbar, wheels, or turbo that makes it "ricey"? To a hardcore domestic owner that is too ignorant to appreciate all well prepared cars of all makes and models, then yes it is. To someone that is familiar with decades of sports cars and motorsports, then no it's not even close.

    While driving down the road you can see other peoples headlights right? It doesn't matter what direction they are aimed, you can still see the light correct?

    If that same light with the exact same angle is increased by solely swapping out the bulb then it is emitting more light than before, at any angle in all directions. HID bulbs (say under 6k) do emit more light right?
