It all has to do with the light beam and the way the bulb is made
Stock HID kits are correctly patterened and do not "scatter" on the road and blind oncoming traffic
Aftermarket kits are usually just put in the regular housing and therefore the light pattern is scattered and then blinds the oncoming traffic.
just a tidbit i thought id share

Get the silverstars, and stay away from the plug and play HIDs... Blinding people is not cool. If you really have to have HIDs then do a little reading over at www.hidplanet.com/forums first

I'd rather sacrifice somebody being pissed at me in their compact car than sacrifice my safety on the back roads at night. Call me a *****, it's all the same.
