To us poor folks with halogen headlights....

What have you guys done to change that?

I realize its reflective housing so an hid retrofit kit is not ideal.

What about those LED kits or a better halogen bulb?

Car in question....

Projector retrofit matched with an HID conversion kit.

LEDs will have pretty as much glare as HIDs, with less performance. You're better off going with just an HID conversion. You can play with the aim a bit, but will have some glare. The reflectors on the 205 is fairly narrow though so not nearly as bad as most reflectors. You'll be as annoying as trucks basically, but not end of the world.
