First of all, my car has projector lenses. I bet they use the same lenses whether you get them with OEM HIDs or not. I had halogens and they produced very little stray light, to the extent that other road users seemed to overlook me at night. One lady almost slammed her car into me, driving along a long line of slow moving traffic and apparently my car was the 'hole' in the line!
I chose the color carefully; 5000K which appears plain white.
When I got the HID kit I carefully measured the position of the electrodes (they were at the exact same position as the middle part of the filament of my halogens) and when I fitted them I made sure they were positioned right, though my Honda dealer readjusted thenm all the same afterwards.
I am very happy with my HID kit and although I see a lot of badly aligned HIDs around, I am pretty certain that mine is not among them.

I think you misunderstood my post. I was only pertaining to the people who have horrible, HORRIBLE aligned HID's. Ever since my mom totaled our van because she got blinded by an idiot with mis-aligned HID's I have resented people who don't do it right with a passion. I see properly aligned HID's all the time and I don't complain because it does look nice when it's done properly.
