I converted to HID because 700 lumens from a 9004 bulbs is the equivalent of a fart in the wind when you're going 70mph on wet asphalt. And no, there is no glare.

Yes they do work as far as putting light out, but they are a safety hazard and blind other drivers on the road because of the glare from incorrect reflector housing, you can see them coming from miles away, blue glare.

In my opinion this is irresponsible.

Use them for driving lights, fog lamps and such, but unless you have a full HID headlight assembly, then keep them out of the headlights.
All halogen headlight housings are not created equal and they can also be modified to reduce glare below what a factor HID housing produces. The blue light issue is caused by people buying stupid light colors. The only HID kit that should be allowed is 4000k-5000k
