    I honestly think there's a huge difference between a lowered car with ebay hids (although I'd prefer all people regardless of headlight type (projectors need to be aimed also) to at least take the time to properly aim them) and a jacked up truck that has unaimed reflector lows and fogs. Shoot I got a buddy in a jacked up truck who rides with fogs al lthe time and his halogen are more blinding than most cheap HID's I've seen. I guess they don't ever think because they're jacked up that they need to re-aim their headlights.

    What I don't understand (from my biased opinion) is why jacked up trucks can get away with so many illegal or just plain annoying stuff while tuners get harassed.

    I don't understand how hid lights can hurt eyes through pictures, but it hurts.

    is your car lowered? are you lower than the truck? exactly. its not the HIDS, its the fact that they were shining straight into your window. it would have happened with regular headlights.

    raise your car up and quit crying.


    P.S. i think i know that guy. does he have matching HID fog lights also?
    Stock rims & suspension. I dunno about the fogs. If I looked long enough to check, I probably would have had a stroke.
