Ask anyone here what happens when you put HID bulbs in your high beams. Unwanted, scattered light everywhere.

Completely understood. However this same thing can (and will most often than not) happen with a halogen projector and an HID retrofit kit. From my experience and understanding, the HID aftermarket kits are 100% illegal from an on and off road standpoint, as per federal law due to the fact that most do not come with a proper housing/projector setup. It is completely legal however to take an existing HID setup (from say, an Audi, etc) and retrofit it to the car you choose, provided you use the HID projector lamps from said housing (or use proper modules like the Hella bi-xenon/xenon high and low 90mm lamps).
