I have a question about HIDs in stock housing... forgive me if it's retarded, but:

The issue with HIDs in stocks is that they aim too high, and shoot up too much glare... you can see fine with them, but other drivers will be blinded. That's why HID projectors have a cutoff shield.

Now, what if you were to drop HIDs in the stock reflector housings, but then put a shield over the top half of them. Almost like an oversized 'eyelid'. Would that sufficiently reduce glare to a manageable level, while retaining brightness to see the road?

Or, what about HIDs in the fogs and just the fogs? The fogs are aimed lower, so would HID fogs give you good road illumination without blinding oncoming traffic?
