its actually worse for trucks and SUV's. US headlights are designed to put some light upward to illuminate overhead signs at night. When you put HID capsules in a lamp designed for a halogen lightsource, it throws 10X the amount of light upward, thus blinding higher vehicles more. Thats why those with HID's in halogen lights always look like ghosts are flying over their cars in trees.

On a light meter, the proper halogen bulb in a headlight is 7 times brighter at its focus point (200-300ft) than an HID kit.
