    as mentioned in some of the previous threads here, a properly retrofitted HID system will not have any glare since it has a projector that focus all the lights on the road. also the projector has a cut-off, that means walang glare above the cut-off line. but even if you have a properly retrofitted hid projector, you still have to make a good alignment since hindi lang ang on-coming traffic ang pwedeng masilaw sa hid natin. we also have to consider the car in front of us that is traveling in the same direction sa atin. dapat at about 25ft our cut-off should be below the side mirror of the car in front of us. check this out for comparison.

    proper hid retrofit usually starts at around 11k for aftermarket setup and can go up to 26k-30k+ for eom setup. but that still depends on the retrofitter and the add on's your planning to put on your setup.

    here's my morimoto mini h1 with foglights sa highway kagabi. hindi na kailangan mag-high beam kasi anglayo ng bato at the same time walang glare.

    Forget about that kit. A bolt-on Morimoto H1 with 55w including install is probably in the P8.5K and up range. Should take about 2-3 hours.

    Yes. It will give the same glare because the reflector bowl remains stock, and that's the part that projects the light.

    Maybe. Not sure. You can check out PDM88 at sulit.

    Ok. Performs much better than stock though, so I think it's a good upgrade for the price. Of course, with a bigger budget, you can get better components.

    Mine was around 25k and that was 4 years ago. I used FX-R bi-xenon projectors, Philips 81522+ 4300k D2S bulbs, China ballasts with generic harness, and clear headlamps sa Pajero ko since yun stock headlamps ko ay fluted.

    Those Morimoto H1 are already good. Alam ko pa lumabas na G3 bolt on projectors which are already good and costs less. Basta never ever install those HIDs dyan sa EK dahil sobra ang glare ng EK headlamps talaga
