The only way to get rid of the glare is a HID projector. Sealed beam with HID lights are going to have lots of glare.

Mine are not bad at all and you will have to adjust them. I see plenty while not offending other drivers. I am using the LED Gauges H4 HID's and could not be happier.

No one, you have to make your own. There has been a few cars on here that have some really nice hid projectors out of other cars but I can't remember who did it.

There isn't a drop-in kit yet that retains the pop-ups.

I like this style I think the most.I wish somebody would make a kit like this but a little cleaner.The round projectors match the car better than the square headlights.

I'd buy it if the price was right, like at the most $600.

You can get a pair of those Hella H9 projectors and mounting-plates/bulbs/connectors for $161.30 delivered. Its not a kit, but with some fabrication, you can make them fit. Rally Lights has them. You'll find more info in the threads I posted above.
