I had a set of 6000k hids on my standard lights and didnt have major problems with dazzling people , but even when properly aligned they still suffered from diffusing alot of light side ways. Best set up for hids ive found is to just get a set of projector lenses, i will get some pics up of mine to show the difference they make. They really improve visability too as your not wasting any light as its all focused right where you want it,infront of you.
As for all this rubbish about needing washers and wipers for your lights, just get some rain x on them,or some wax. worked a charm for me, never get any rain sitting on your lenses and they stay cleaner for longer.

Looks better
It's meant to point to the left a little, and slightly higher on the left lamp.
Your FK's were LHD, so you prob had got used to that beam pattern!

Not quite sure why some people on here think it's funny to dazzle on coming drivers but whatever floats your boat I guess

HID conversion systems are suitable for use on dipped or high beam applications, unlike any other systems on the market

What?
Any bi-xenon kit you buy is suitable for dipped and high beam.

aftermarket HIDS without the proper projector-lens setup is just fail IMO... aswell as MOT fail...
My clear front headlights which were LHD were manually adjusted by the screw and passed about 5 MOT's.
So thats that theory wrong

We all know they pass mot's, that doesn't make them legal.
People are also mistaken in thinking the projector headlights they have for standard halogen lamps are the same as the ones fitted with xenons, they are not.
