got damn that same guy blinded me 2

[KevinT707]

I'm not going to deny but I've been rocking eBay HIDs on my non-projector headlights for awhile now :(. Perhaps I will retrofit them this Spring/Summer when it gets warmer. Knowing that they are blinding w/out projectors I do point them low.

Trucks with HIDs are VERY blinding though!

Agreed. I dont have projectors and have been pricing parts for a retrofit. I keep mine aimed down though....I know still bright but you can not look directly into them when im coming and be just fine. Those trucks like that cant be avoided and I know of several around here with HID headlights and fogs....its fawkin retarded

[bodhi]

got damn that same guy blinded me 2

[Theycall_Metue]

x3 hate that shit. i normaly turn my mirrors away so it dosnt reflect the light right at my eyes.
and to be honest it hurts my eye just looking at that PICTURE!

[MongolPup]

I've always wondered how they don't get pulled over every 5 minutes.

[neon_ert3]

it doesnt matter if they have hids or not, trucks always blind me!






oh yeah, i rock them hids in my db8 lol

[Barefoot]

complain to the people selling the kits.

[.:Stirfry:.]

i bet the majority of the ppl on here have the every day ebay hids.
juss sayin.

[KevinT707]

This thread makes me want to retrofit sooner!

[Revmaynard]

That guy blinded me, too.

[ATL86]

The damn picture blinded me, lol.

[Nguyen128]

The damn picture blinded me, lol.

x2 lol

[BKgen®]

Holy shit -- That guy blinded me, too.

[sirkus]

It should be illegal for trucks to have HID's. Regardless the lights blind you, HIDS just make it 10000000000000000000x worse.


Nice car seat btw.. lol :goodjob:

very agreed, i wouldnt get hid's until i got my projectors even though some people still complai. and the thought that goes through my head is let me pur my stockers in for ya' def dp whay

[ItsBlack]

I'm glad my rear glass is 17% tint

[preferredduck]

i was blinded by the light of and 8 ball, good song!!!

[Destineal]

I got some ebay tint I'm gonna throw on when it gets warmer. I'll have the back window professionally done though..

[AllTheDude]

Thats why I just have silverstars. I wouldn't want to do that to someone else, because it annoys me so...

[antiv6]

get window tint

[.:Stirfry:.]

or dont look

[ItsBlack]

In the driver's defense, he/she probably doesn't realize how bright they actually are from another cars view. I have silverstars too, but after replacing them I just made sure they worked and called it a day.

[silverDA]

tight.

[Barefoot]

after this thread im going to get the brightest hids i can find for the truck and run up on ever honda i see.

[jdmdb8itr]

hahaha'


its not cheap ass hids, it that the are not projector, i have hids on my bike but i did move the high beam down so it wouldnt blind to much,but i ride with high beams 24/7 on the bike

[§treet_§peed]

That's why I got mine from Nitro. Never had but one problem, the ballast went out and he hooked me up with another one.

[sTeadFasT]

I honestly think there's a huge difference between a lowered car with ebay hids (although I'd prefer all people regardless of headlight type (projectors need to be aimed also) to at least take the time to properly aim them) and a jacked up truck that has unaimed reflector lows and fogs. Shoot I got a buddy in a jacked up truck who rides with fogs al lthe time and his halogen are more blinding than most cheap HID's I've seen. I guess they don't ever think because they're jacked up that they need to re-aim their headlights.

What I don't understand (from my biased opinion) is why jacked up trucks can get away with so many illegal or just plain annoying stuff while tuners get harassed.

[S13_Chody]

just as bad as those damn bikers with AIDS

[smoknlegend]

ive seen that guy in newnan before, pissed me off cause they are too blue and too high...

[VTECking]

I saw that guy today and I wanted to give him the bird, but I figured he could just run me off the road and my little s2k wouldn't have a chance.

That's just the way the world works...

[toxxxic]

hmm. i have non retro-fitted headlights with HID bulbs.

is your car lowered? are you lower than the truck? exactly. its not the HIDS, its the fact that they were shining straight into your window. it would have happened with regular headlights.

raise your car up and quit crying.


P.S. i think i know that guy. does he have matching HID fog lights also?

Well my car comes stock with HIDs. When I changed my bulbs to aftermarket bulbs, I had parked that car in one spot and observed where the top of the beam was shining on my garage wall. I installed one side, and I notice a big difference in where the aftermarket beam was aimed compared to the other OEM side.

(BTW these are cheap bulbs)

This difference is definitely noticable when my car is parked no more than 2-3 feet away from the wall. Imagine if your car was 50 feet away, the beam is going to be shining right into your eyes, let alone I could probably put a lot of glare onto a lot of the truck drivers and such.

It's not that it's our car is too low (though I gotta admit some people are just rediculously low) but more that the aftermarket bulbs that people buy are aimed differently and then they don't take the 10 mins it takes to aim them and test them out on the roads. I'm trying to say that it definetly would NOT happen with regular stock headlights. I don't think the solution is to raise our cars, but to get the drivers to fix their headlights.

One more thing, as the driver behind the HIDs, you can def tell the difference between HIDs that're aimed too high and HIDs that're aimed properly.

[ash7]

holy smokes, that truck blinded me while i was eating breakfast!

[AV8ter]

I like how you guys are all claiming the same guy has blinded you when I am sure there is at least 100 trucks in the area, lifted, with gay ass HIDs.........

[sTeadFasT]

Yeah but this guy has a picture. That right therem akes it special. You know everybody on IA loves pictures.

[Sir_Christopher]

the only good thing about these Hid's are to rub on my balls and have myself a good ole time

I don't understand how hid lights can hurt eyes through pictures, but it hurts.

Stock rims & suspension. I dunno about the fogs. If I looked long enough to check, I probably would have had a stroke.


I like how you guys are all claiming the same guy has blinded you when I am sure there is at least 100 trucks in the area, lifted, with gay ass HIDs......... Location was on Hastings Bridge Road in Lovejoy. Not to far from Tara Blvd.

If you can keep up with me.

i know its painful!

I had a few problems with his and he never got back to me :(. Had to buy replacement stuff from someone else.

[bangin_jeep]

lol guess ill have to do some engine work then ;) My sound waves are faster anyway hehe

[Destineal]

lol

[SoCoWhiteWS6]

i'm not going to lie i have DDMTuning HID's in my foglights, i never drive with my headlights up anymore. Im about to put them in my headlights too though for when its really dark out on back roads and up the mountain and stuff. havent quite figured out how to put projectors in my fogs or my headlgihts, havent really looked for that matter.

[Kevykev]

Damn! 800000k LOL


Hate it as well!

[98blackcivic]

that looks sick as fuck

Repped you just for your sig. The content of your post however, was lacking.

It takes fucking 3 days and maybe $150 to do a proper retrofit. Quit being fags, all of you.

It took me 2 days to get mine irght .

I did mine back in 2004, when most people would say " HIDS are HOW MUCH???... NAAAHHHH, I'll just stick to regular blue bulbs" lolol

[sprix!]

I don't understand why these asshats don't get pulled over more often. Non OEM HIDs in reflector housings is a no-no. On top of just looking horrible, it just is inconsiderate of other drivers. I wish the police would be a little more heavy handed when it comes to this. I am all for modifying your car so long as it doesn't affect other people's ability to safely drive in peace. Driving your vehicle with those retarded blue/purple lights is a safety hazard.

e-brake check time!!!! works like a charm and everyone backs the f@ck off.

[preferredduck]

i've seen an 18 wheeler with HID's all over it, it was like a ufo coming down 85, and he lit up a half mile section of the road, it was bad, too bad i couldnt get a pic cuz it was kind of funny.

[EL42]

I'm glad my rear glass is 17% tint
mine is 5% :cheers:

[preferredduck]

mine is 5% :cheers:

17% here, trucks don't bug me thank goodness.

[integra938]

Looks like the rapture is happening behind you,Come into the light!!

[skacore]

This guy blinded my mama

[wazzyatl]

Im blinded just by looking at the damn picture lol.... i hate trucks with HID's ..... the light will go out!

[sam.car]

There are so many piece of shit cars running around with non-retrofitted headlights with bright ass hid kids in them.

Either do it right, or be a don't do it all. Don't be a stupid little shit and half-ass it.

[Kevykev]

I just removed some and put it back to stock - like it should be.


I'm down for the cause!

[isthisreal]

dude is that a spaceship behind or the gates of heaven opening...lol

[DeeAOne]

3k's dont seem as bad to me. i probably got flashed/pulled over more with 10k than 3k's that i have now. thats even angled down too.

[RUFFIAN]

this truck is really getting around.

[G.C]

It should be illegal for trucks to have HID's. Regardless the lights blind you, HIDS just make it 10000000000000000000x worse.


Nice car seat btw.. lol

why? if they have projectors and if aimed right, they wont blind people.

[Shift_2WIN]

HIDs without projectors are horrible, im about to get a retrofit myself

Tdurr says: its cuz we can run from the cops and have a okay chance of getting away, and trucks.. unless they are near/in woods or mud arnt going anywhere.
lol


and ive only been flashed once for my his's and thats when i was cresting a hill along with another car cresting another small one. kinda unavoidable. but i have been pulled over for my hid's with in 5 min of being in fayco lol.
/tdurr

[Sawyer]

/tdurr

Unfortunately, that's not surprising at all..

[WRX STi]

I have been blinded multiple times by this crap. And of course, the cops are too busy pulling you over for your illegal tint (which hurts nobody), and they dont pay attention to all the non-DOT headlights that are actually blinding people. Gotta love it.
