bad idea to install xenons into...

regular hagolen housing on a 1998 sclass or any mercedes with reflector housing? my service advisor has told me that the housing on the xenon equipped cars believe it or not are the same as the non xenon housings as both have textured surfaces and the only difference is one will have xenon bulbs and ballast?

i ask this question because i have read that in reflector based xenon installs, the light output is not that great and causes a noticable glare due to the way the xenon bulb will react to the reflectors.

anyone who has installed xenons into their mercedes with reflector halogen headlamps... do you have a noticable glare assoicated with them?
