If you've installed an aftermarket HID kit in a stock halogen headlight housing, it will glare a lot since they're not designed to have HIDs. Essentially, it will scatter light everywhere and that's what causes all the glare. When you have 'projector headlights' which designed for HIDs as it gives a very sharp, even cut-off and also spreads the light evenly.
Take a picture of your headlight, front on, during the day and people will be able to tell you what your problem is.
If it's what I'm thinking, you've probably got the Accord Euro, not luxury, only the luxury models have factory fitted HIDs. So you will need to 'retrofit' the HIDs if that's the case for a proper, legal install.
Will do, i had a feeling i will need to do something to the headlights.

Look for an adjustment point on the top of the headlight under the hood.
Are there any instructions for this somewhere? I'll have to look at them this weekend when i have more time.
