Although factory HIDs are bright as hell, they're nowhere near as blinding as aftermarket retrofits. Most aftermarket HID kits are not DOT legal because a halogen reflector/lens with an HID bulb/ballast shoots the bright-ass beam all over the place, whereas the factory HIDS have a more focused beam pattern.
