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.
    Tdurr says: its cuz we can run from the cops and have a okay chance of getting away, and trucks.. unless they are near/in woods or mud arnt going anywhere.
    lol


    and ive only been flashed once for my his's and thats when i was cresting a hill along with another car cresting another small one. kinda unavoidable. but i have been pulled over for my hid's with in 5 min of being in fayco lol.

    I saw that guy today and I wanted to give him the bird, but I figured he could just run me off the road and my little s2k wouldn't have a chance.

    hmm. i have non retro-fitted headlights with HID bulbs.

    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?

    Well my car comes stock with HIDs. When I changed my bulbs to aftermarket bulbs, I had parked that car in one spot and observed where the top of the beam was shining on my garage wall. I installed one side, and I notice a big difference in where the aftermarket beam was aimed compared to the other OEM side.

    (BTW these are cheap bulbs)

    This difference is definitely noticable when my car is parked no more than 2-3 feet away from the wall. Imagine if your car was 50 feet away, the beam is going to be shining right into your eyes, let alone I could probably put a lot of glare onto a lot of the truck drivers and such.

    It's not that it's our car is too low (though I gotta admit some people are just rediculously low) but more that the aftermarket bulbs that people buy are aimed differently and then they don't take the 10 mins it takes to aim them and test them out on the roads. I'm trying to say that it definetly would NOT happen with regular stock headlights. I don't think the solution is to raise our cars, but to get the drivers to fix their headlights.

    One more thing, as the driver behind the HIDs, you can def tell the difference between HIDs that're aimed too high and HIDs that're aimed properly.

Im about to put them in my headlights too though for when its really dark out on back roads and up the mountain and stuff. havent quite figured out how to put projectors in my fogs or my headlgihts, havent really looked for that matter.

    I don't understand why these asshats don't get pulled over more often. Non OEM HIDs in reflector housings is a no-no. On top of just looking horrible, it just is inconsiderate of other drivers. I wish the police would be a little more heavy handed when it comes to this. I am all for modifying your car so long as it doesn't affect other people's ability to safely drive in peace. Driving your vehicle with those retarded blue/purple lights is a safety hazard.

    There are so many piece of shit cars running around with non-retrofitted headlights with bright ass hid kids in them.

    Either do it right, or be a don't do it all. Don't be a stupid little shit and half-ass it.

    why? if they have projectors and if aimed right, they wont blind people.
