i believe that is the "spill-over" side effect.
i always notuce HID kits on old style headlights tend to just shine everywhere but where intended.

Which is exactly the concern i have about putting a HID kit on my bike.
If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.

Re: Zx9-R C2 HID headlight setup
If it's going to be a problem with older style bikes, I think I'll reconsider and just put in an extra bright globe and see how that goes, spent too much on the bike already anyway
EDIT I should say that the brighter globe will be one of the same wattage, just a clearer and cleaner globe like the NARVA Ice ones

Re: Zx9-R C2 HID headlight setup
Putting too bright a globe in can cause problems if the housing and/or wiring isn't rated for it. the latter is easily sorted out by running a relay and dedicated fusing and power cabling. the former, not so easily sorted out.
If it hurts, you aren't doing it right.

It's only an issue with reflector housing headlights. If you have projectors, you're laughing 
ZXR750 -> ZX7R. It's an addiction, I tell you.
