    Okay so it was part of my argument and is valid. If someone cuts me off and I hit them it should be there faults if I don't have anywhere to go or enough time to not run into the back of them or brake checks me and I wreck my car, because they wanted to be a dumbass, they are doing something illegal and could cause danger to other drivers. Just as HIDs can "blind" someone and cause them to wreck. I didn't do it the right way, because I don't have the money, but because as I stated previously numerous amount of times, I have NOT had any other problems with any other drivers on the road. If I start having problems, then I will go back and redo them. What about someone with illegal tint. If you can't see them through the tint and they pull out a gun, it could be to late to do anything about it and you could be dead. Just throwing out scenarios that could happen with other things that are illegal that people can and do. I got my HIDs to help me see better, not to be cool and join the fad. Just because this is Importatlanta and a lot of people in GA are on this site and a bunch of people have HIDs, doesn't mean someone can come on here, complain and everyone is going to run out and correct it. What I am trying to say is, no one is going to change something just because one person complains about it. I can't make the OP not throw change bombs at people for having HIDs and that is illegal and dangerous just as well. You can't stop people from doing things they want to do, whether they are doing it the right way or the wrong way. Deal with it, strangers who have nothing to do with the car scene deal with people who have HIDs so people in the car scene should deal with it to. Also, as I and a few others stated, there are some new cars with oem headlights, correct housing and all that a far worse blinding when I pass them then HIDs, but that's legal, so if I wreck my car because of that, what happens then??


    It also depends which K HIDs you put on your car..some are worse then others...

    my comment was not directed at you or your HID's everything i'm saying is directed at people that have blinding shit. as far as brake checking goes, i'll admit i do that when people crawl up my ass. it pisses me off but i just tap my brakes so the brake lights come on and scare the people behind me. i don't actually slam on my breaks and cause them to swerve or whatever, and if someone brake checks you, and you hit them it's your fault because you should not have been following to closely. think about it, if they actually HAD to slam on their brakes because of something infront of them, you would plow right into them and it would be your fault. but that's all irrelevant. the topic at hand is overly bright HID's. tint, cutting people off, tailgating etc has nothing to do with it, and is not a valid arguement or point when discussing headlights. hell i probably shouldn't even have said anything about them in the first place. and i'm not saying that me sitting on the computer talking about how irritating incorrectly installed HID's are is going to change anything, i don't expect it to. i'm meerley expressing my opinion, which is what this forum is for. but if you have not had any problems or complaints about yours, then i have absolutely no issue with you running them however you please and you should do be able to do so.
