    a) Post number #38 is not bashing... I did not specifically pointed it at a single person.

    So slimm, coming in with caps blazing on something that wasn't even being duscussed got you recognition as the first part of that quite, the nice space and second part of that reply was my frustration of the multiple people posting out of left field....if it was all directed toward you, then I would have made it all one paragrapgh. Reading post #25 may have saved you the over use of caps or even that entire post

    b) "bashing" refers to saying stuff that is way out of line for the conversation. Now if I had directed something at DynamicSound with something like "you're a fucking idiot for posting this shit I can't believe you scam people into buying this crap and you're fucking retarded".....then yes, that would be bashing. But I am not reverting to such conversation (DS- The above statement was for demonstration purposes and I would hope you realize I will not deal with you like that...it's completely possible to have a debate without going overboard)

I will tell you exactly what it is from my 5+ years experience of selling and installing HID kits. I can call BS from idiots that come onto forums at state things that have heard, read, or dealt with on the 1-2 HID Kits they owned. As said before, to have a clean cutoff, then projectors are the way to go. The small amount of spread that goes beyond the cutoff on halogen housings will not be "blinding" people if your headlights are properly aligned to the correct angle. This is what 99% of people do not do, so when you see a car shooting to high, you are chalking it up to some "ricer" that put a HID kit into a halogen housing. This does not make it true, sorry. On top of this, looking at the vehicle you drive, you are going to be much lower than most people because you 1) have a low to ground small car, and 2) it looks lowered. So you will be blinded by a good deal of cars because you choose to make your car lower than stock. The same when I have jacked up trucks riding behind me with normal halogen bulbs...they are shining right into my window. There are too many factors involved that can cause someone lights to blind people, so to chalke it all up to 1 reason and label them ricers shows me you have very little experience in them. Also, I would seriously look at your own vehicle before you call someone a ricer because you have a ricey vehicle. I am not saying it doesn't look good because it does, but tons of people would label you a ricer.

    I was waiting for this reply.

    I am not referring to the little bit of scattered light that all headlights give out. I am referring to the countless times that i've seen this done where light is point all over the place..even with the hotspot pointed about 20 ft in front of the car. Besides, taking pictures of lights that are <10ft away from a wall with a crappy camera don't really show how much scatter is happening.

    This is how most HID/reflectors look when the person with the camera takes a proper picture that displays the glare/scatter..which isn't small by any means. So you're going to tell me the light patterns in these pics is just fine and that they won't cause oncoming drivers any problems?










    With the above pictures, aiming the headlight down won't do shit for all of that glare.


    Oh and do you really think I don't realize I drive a faily low vehicle? Really? Maybe that explains why everyone's light looked so bright to me for the past 6 years! Who would have thought! Thanks for pointing that out to me!

    I still can tell the difference between lights aimed correctly and ricer bullshit.

    And the reason for my comment is that through this entire thread you have yet to acknowledge that there is blinding glare/scatter like what I have posted above. I'd like you to point out some reasons/facts/diagrams/specific designs as to when putting HIDs in reflectors can work with no light scatter/glare. But simply stating "there is no problem with doing it" is not exactly a way to show your side of this debate.
