The flare for HID headlights isn't so big that it will blind oncoming traffic.  I can say that it doesn't equate to driving around with a PnP kit in halogen housings.  I'm going to be honest about the S2K projector being fit into the low beam reflector.  It's not going to happen.  If you haven't seen a set of Inspires in person, you may not realize how small the low beam reflector is.  I guaranfuckingtee that it will not fit.  The S2K projector is larger than the low beam reflector of the Inspire.  That's why the only thing I think would work is trying to retrofit a bi-xenon projector into the high beam reflector.  Then you retain the look of the Inspire housing with the low beams on (which looks awesome), you have the option of having a projector for better output (that can be paired with the Inspire low beam), and you keep the functionality of the high beam with the bi-xenon projector.  If it all fits, it will be magical.

I don't think that having Inspires is a drawback.  It's a slightly less expensive way of having HIDs for people that don't have the skills or coin for a retrofit.  If you're really anal about the flare being correct, then you can open up the housings and make it a flat cutoff instead with a dremel.
