Im assuming youve got standard reflector headlights??

Shouldnt really use xenon bulbs in reflector lights mate the glare is awful and IMO its a danger.

Sorry.

I'd wait till you have at least got projector lenses, then at least once they're on they won't be blinding all oncoming traffic. They'll still be illegal though unless you're prepared to spend some serious money.

In the UK its a legal requirement to have auto levellers and headlamp washers if you have xenon discharge bulbs, thats why all cars have them where they are fitted as standard.
