DIY: halogen to HID conversion (ebay lights)
#61
You are correct. That's as good of an example as glare as you can get.
I've actually seen quite a few G35's with halogen headlights and retrofit kits installed and think they are one of the worse glaring headlight designs out there. The difference between OEM HID's and halogens with HID's is huge.
I know that some vehicles, with certain headlight designs are tolerable, but my opinion is the G35 is not one of these.
(referring to 03/04 halogen low beams...not fog lights)

this is what i consider glare, light reflections everywhere. I do not have that issue, and i do not have projectors and therefore will not have a super clean cutoff, look at factory 02-03 maximas for example, the have factory non projector HID headlights and have the same light dispersement as i do

That's exactly my point. There isn't a standard for the H1-based HID. It's an aftermarket hybridization of two different bulbs. There is no conformity standard of these hybrid bulbs that garantees the product produced by one company is the same as one produced at another.
If you really think about it, why wouldn't the manufacturer (nissan, toyota, Honda, Ford, etc) simply use halogen replacement bulbs and stick to one headlight housing design? Simply remove the halogen bulb and replace it with a corresponding HID-replacement bulb? I have my theories, but that's a whole different topic of conversation here
