    the glare comin from the headlight doesnt look any different then if you didnt have projectors, couldnt say about road lighting though but looks similar in distance as mine and i dun have projectors.

    Also i think projectors are overrated performance wise, tru they look nice and everything but they dont reduce THAT much glare, i mean look at the older Acura Tl's, they dont have projectors either, along wit many oem HID equipped cars. Although i have no doubt it looks mad sexy on your corolla

    The older TL's use HID reflectors (D1R or D2R HID bulbs), their housings are designed to accurately reflect that level of lumens. I've got a little bit of glare that shoots up because my housings are still reflective (I haven't spray painted them black or gray), its actually not the lenses themselves, and I haven't put the shrouds over them. I'll take some more output pics when I do that.

    I got all the parts I needed from Sean, it cost in the neighborhood of $700 with spare housing, and I already had all the tools I needed.

    Looking nice. But I think you need to get some clear corners.
