I have had HIDs in my OEM lights and they worked quite well. Used them for a year and never got flashed (correctly aimed). A huge improvement over OEM Halogens.
I later upgraded to ACAs, better still
Thank you..I saw your post after I posted my reply about aiming them
well apparently those people did not take the time to adjust them..you cannot just throw them in (projector style or otherwise) without aligning them...
I had mine done at Cruise In and we spent a better part of 30 minutes getting them right and I have the projector type.
When I did the other ones I also spent time adjusting them.
Agreed it just makes it that much more painful when those that do not.
This is who I bought mine from. I installed mine in the stock buckets and am very happy with the upgrade, big difference between stock and these HIDS. I've had mine installed for about six months now and have never been flashed by an oncoming driver either.
I also bought mine from djmotorsportaccessories.
I have had mine for just over a year and I love them. Yes a big difference over the stock lights. I have never been flashed.

This is very true. Ideally the Dipped beam projector patten will NOT cause any blinding if aimed correctly.
To aim projector headlights: park the car 25' from a wall with the car aimed perpendicular to the wall and a level road surface. Transverse alignment is usually no big problem. Elevation alignment is more important. The Drivers side should be aimed first simply because it's easier to see. The right side of the cutoff (the higher part) should be between 22-24 inches from the ground. Line up the passenger side so the patten matches the same elevation as the drivers side.
Since the Corvette's headlights are at the lowest legal height for headlights, one can safely aim them streight forward (zero degrees elevation) without blinding traffic.
