    This is the same argument that has been going on since HIDs first came out for after market purchase.

    I have passed many many many cars with every difference of K values and have NEVER been blinded to the point that I can't see what ahead of me. Even the "unbalanced" ones.

    Honestly, I am blinded more when I pass a fool with his brights on than any vehicle with HIDs.

    Until the day DOT starts taking more action and start pulling over EVERY car with HIDs, Nitro will be payed a visit EVERY time I get a new car.

    Even Evo's get flashed at from the opposite lane! The most annoying brightness of lights is those people with the super bright yellow lights that seem like it's all on high beam and especially when they're right behind you. From trucks, it's even worser! But dam, H.I.D lights on old cars looks good when driving IT, but looking at it from in front, it just doesn't look right. Two big dots of blue circles which aren't usually the same size. Sometimes one's brighter and bigger then the other. :]
