HID done right is vastly superior to halogen. The factory HIDs in my
wife's Touareg are pure white with no visible blue content at all - I
would say the color is in the 4000K range. I can see much better
with these lights than I can with a slightly yellow halogen. The
Touareg and most other OE HID systems have an auto-levelling system built
in that keeps them aimed correctly at all times. I never experience
people flashing me at all in the Touareg. My former Golf Country
that I converted the low beams to HID recieved the occasional person who
flashed me.
