Christmas is coming up and my girlfriend asked me what I wanted, I thought about HIDs but people tell me that aftermarket HIDs cause a glare and I really want a stock look. I was wondering who has aftermarket HIDs on their GS and does it look good.

I have 6000K Phillips HIDs, and there is some glare (that straight cutoff line of the light beam that HID housing gives you does not really exist) but its definitely an upgrade compared to stock halogen bulbs. They light up the road much more, and i don't find it difficult to drive with at all, in any weather condition.

Got fed up so I removed it and converted to OEM HID housings.
