Default HID's in a NNBS stock housings

Hey guys,

I know its not ideal, and some think its a bad idea but i would like to know who all has installed HID's in their NNBS in the OEM headlight housing? Are you blinding oncoming drivers? Did you adjust the lights down low or lower than stock? Is there an insane amount of glare? got pics?

THOUSANDS of people LOL. I have 6k in my fogs, lows and highs and love them. I occasionally get a flash here and there but it's very rare. I have not adjusted my lights at all

I have them and they took 10 minutes to install, and I haven't noticed them needing to be adjusted .... And I do believe I blind tons of people but...... There are people that do way worse things in the world than that lol

6000k lows and fogs. The driver side fog had more blue than anything else, I think it was a bad or wrong color bulb.

I have 5Ks in my low beams and 5k in my fogs, both fogs ballast died within a few minutes of each other(2 weeks poorly mounted, vibration killed them). I got one replacement from the vendor and picked up a buddies extra.
The replacement still looks like 5k, the other (buddies extra) looks more white like a 4300k.

The "color" is from the bulb, not the ballasts.
