a lot of people fit HID conversion kit, thinking that it is "cool"

But they are endangering people around because the beams are not "aimed" properly, with light scattering all over the place.

they are also endangering themselves as the beams would create blind spots. its like coming from a dark room to bright room, vice versa.

a proper conversion from Halogen requires installing a self-leveling to the bulb angle. a projector headlight housing for HID (not all projector-like setup are meant for HIDs) and the cut-off shields.

ALL aftermarket HID conversion kit are illegal in Malaysia, USA, Singapore and UK.

All HID conversion must have auto-leveling to avoid blinding people..

There are original conversion kits, but fitting it to a Halogen-based car is ILLEGAL

Yup, by law all illegal
