So I've tested the 4th gen r34 headlights with 5000K HID kits on my buddies maxima and I drove on the opposite side as the -oncoming traffic- and I don't understand how you guys get "blinded" and then start to ***** about something you haven't experienced. It looked like regular headlights with a few dull-bright moments when his car hit a small bump (but that's normal for all) and it didn't blind me -AT ALL-.
NONE, ZIP, NADA, etc.

When you guys say "blind" is it because you were blinded by the r34 headlights or by some crappy 4cyl car with it's high-beams on or HID kit? You guys speak of all this stray light like you've experienced it first-hand from a maxima with r34 headlights with a 5000k-8000k HID kit driving towards you and stopping to blind you on purpose.

So before you share your -not to reliable- "facts" go see for yourself if there's BLINDING glare from the r34 style headlights for our 4th gens with an HID kit.

Those pictures above with the glare from the STOCK maxima housing and what not are worthless in this thread because the OP was asking about putting HIDs in a R34 HOUSING and about which ballasts to use. So why are you posting how bad the glare is with the stock housings? Are you proving to us that the stock housings blind oncoming traffic?

Well GEE I WONDER. Stock housings with HID kits cause extreme blindage and I would know cause I've tested it out with the stock and HIDs with my friend and, yes, they do blind oncoming traffic but not the r34 headlights. Never said there wasn't ANY stray light but it's not enough to make you say "HOLY BATMAN I HAVE TO USE ECHOLOCATION TO DRIVE CAUSE THE HID KITS ARE BLINDING ME THROUGH MY BATMOBILE WINDHSIELD"

If you don't believe me go find someone with r34 headlights with an HID kit installed and drive by them.

So please stop posting pictures of stock headlamps with hid kits with ****ty cameras because this thread isn't about stock headlamps with hid kits and the glare stock headlamps cause.

Oh and common sense alert...cameras pick up the bright circle of the light and make it look like some super glare due to it being so contrasted with the rest of the non-illuminated enviroment. So the pictures of the "glare" are worthless because what the camera sees is not what WE THE HUMANS see. Do you get it?


ps.
Notice how I emphasis on R34 headlight with HID kits. As I mention it to get it through your skulls that HID kits on r34 headlights aren't bad and don't blind the **** out of people. All it does is give you a crappy beam pattern which isn't all that bad if you know how to move your headlights sideways with some custom mounts.

edit:
and some people don't have $500-600 laying around or the time to spend on headlight retrofits but at the same time they don't want to die because of crappy r34 beam patterns so they go on a budget and get hid kits which are now cheap and, voila, they can see at night now while driving home from work at 8pm to see his family and tell them how he steered clear of a dear because of his r34 headlights with HID kits that didn't blind the oncoming traffic on his way home.
