I do find HID to glare more, and to be less effective in the rain, but i still prefer HID for its sharper cutoff (unless you have a really amazing reflector and I've seen halogen reflectors that rival HID projectors).
Its less irritating because Halogen is dimmer than HID. There's no way HID glares more...With a projector, the beam is very concentrated and there's very little to no glare. I do agree though, Halogen does infact work better on wet roads, but that's what I have my fogs for...

HID does have more glare due to more output.

Projectors with 4300-5000k good brand HID will give you the most light output without bothering other drivers.

When I went from the stock HID's to S2000 projectors it was a big jump in output. I was able to go with Philips 6000k bulbs for a little more color and still have more output than the stock 4300k. Plus it was nice to not get flashed anymore. Seems like no matter how I aimed my lights before I was flashed at least every other day.

You 07 guys are lucky to get some decent projectors from the factory.
