    I think the biggest problems arise when you put a xenon kit into a 
projection housing that is made for a halogen bulb. IMHO the projection 
lamps make less surrounding glare, but blind you more when head on. Any 
glare around my lights may obscure my vehicle, but is not going to 
affect oncoming drivers like they say. I've never had a complaint and 
I've even asked people point blank about it. The complaints I get result 
from being Civic drivers heading towards a fullsize truck with a rocker 
panel sitting at eye level. Of course Joe will want to know if it will 
void the warranty and tell you that looking at my pictures there is no 
visible difference.

   Oh I tried to send you a link in email but got that reply from EL. 
Normally I refuse verification because it's a bad solution, but I 
clicked the link, then it wanted names and emails and all kinds of 
stuff. I wasn't about to fill all that stuff out so you may not get it.
