So you took a light meter and took measurements at the same distance from the truck, both before and after the installation? Again, we're talking about the headlights only, not your additional aux lighting. I highly doubt your installation produced no glare when every other F150 with PnP kits does it. If you adjusted them down enough to remove the hot spots, you didn't gain any real usable distance from the beam. The glare is caused by the intense scattered beam from the reflector, as Xenon's need specially designed projectors to focus the beam evenly and with a definitive cutoff. You already dropped several bills for aux lighting and did some custom fab work, why not just retrofit projectors in the stock housings (easy enough after the fab work you've already done) and get 100% improvement in performance?

 

Of course theres going to be some glare to any hid.. i thought about the projectors as well, but since i am only on the city roads for short periods of time i didnt wanna spend the time/money for them. i work on a farm where i need the extra light. so it all works out for me.
