If you wanted HID's, you should have bought a car with HID or did it right. I have Bixenons in my Mercedes. Looked for a while because I knew I wanted one that had them as a factory option. They're like a 2k option but probably over 3-4k as a post factory retrofit option as the housing alone list for $1500. They auto level and they also have the active curve illumination and headlamp washers. The headlamp washers are required in Europe because the Xenons tend to scatter light when covered in dirt/snow. While they're bi-xenons, they also have a pair of regular high beam halogen bulbs next to them when using the flash to pass feature as it takes a while for the shutters to move when switching between low and high beam. The factory HID lights also have a very clear cut off on the low beam so it doesn't blind other drivers. When you turn them on, they do a little dance, the lights point at the ground, turn left and right and then auto level by pointing straight ahead. It auto levels in case you have a lot in the trunk and the rear rides low, then your beams would be pointing too high.
There several used Mercedes out there that have Bi-xenons and you could pick one up in the 10-15k range.
Cops do write tickets for having non-factory equipment and 6000k is just a dead give away that you don't have factory lights.
As for cops, they have better things to do up here.
Also, the law states that 300 candelas is the limit.
Unfortunately I do not have $1000 extra to spend.
I guess you still don't get it, my car came with HID projector optics.
Halogen, you will see that there is one in reflector housing which is the high beams and then the cat eyes optic that's low beam and the same as the OEM HID.

R: If I were to buy an hid optic I would be "blinding more people" instead as I would be getting more lumens.
