    yeah fuck you cheap HID kit people. With my car as low as it is, it's already hard for me tosee with a halogen shining at me, and I've seriously almost left my lane because of a few people that looked to have their brights on (but could be bad HIDs)

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    Dude I feel your pain. I'm so low as fuck to but still get flashed like my brights are on and that is some bullshit. But I've never heard of HID's being illegal

    technically if they didn't come on the stock then they are.
    You know better; next time will be a ban.

    Anyone that has HID's without projectors is illegal as well as it should be. That is way to much light to just be shining all over the road. Do it right and get some Projectors. On my GTI i have HID but i searched around and bought some projector headlights for pretty cheap. Now i have a crisp line that breaks from light and no light. dont have to worry about blinding anyway.

    cars that have HID's stock still blind....it all depends on how high a person has their lights aimed....

    Are you going to be laughing when someone hits you head on because your shitty head lights blinded them?

    Because if its OEM its been made to where it will pass the laws and not blind people like just slapping re-based bulbs in halogen housings.

    I don't know, I've driven around both the illegal and legal kind and I personally think the legal ones are more annoying..

    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. :]
