I've seen approximately 0 police pull over a car for having badly aligned/glare-y headlights. I see around 3 cars a month flash someone, so 95% of drivers just cop it in the face (much like drivers behind slow cars not doing anything about it).
Your car is low on the front + alignment is pointing down a lot. Of course it will be brighter than standard halogen, but the distribution of the light is more important, especially when it rains.
The amount of glare I see on Sydney roads is too damn high! More cars = more people running HID kits in their halogen housings = more glare. Also, lots of (~30% of cars I see) have lights that point up, which then cop some bi-xenon goodness from me.
If you ever get a chance, go for a drive in an OEM HID equipped car (like series 3 R33) or a car that someone did a retrofit to. If you do ever change to HIDs, you won't go back! Lol
