UMM I HATE CHEAP ASS HIDs

**Destineal** · 02-10-2010, 09:39 AM

I was coming home from work this morning and this nice dodge truck decided to get behind me with these cheap ass , non retrofitted 800,000k blinding the shit out of me HIDs.

**laokid** · 02-10-2010, 09:41 AM

got damn that same guy blinded me 2

**KevinT707** · 02-10-2010, 09:42 AM

I'm not going to deny but I've been rocking eBay HIDs on my non-projector headlights for awhile now

. Perhaps I will retrofit them this Spring/Summer when it gets warmer. Knowing that they are blinding w/out projectors I do point them low.

Trucks with HIDs are VERY blinding though!

Agreed. I dont have projectors and have been pricing parts for a retrofit. I keep mine aimed down though....I know still bright but you can not look directly into them when im coming and be just fine. Those trucks like that cant be avoided and I know of several around here with HID headlights and fogs....its fawkin retarded

**Theycall_Metue** · 02-10-2010, 09:52 AM

x3 hate that shit. i normaly turn my mirrors away so it dosnt reflect the light right at my eyes.
and to be honest it hurts my eye just looking at that PICTURE!

**MongolPup** · 02-10-2010, 10:06 AM

I've always wondered how they don't get pulled over every 5 minutes.

**neon_ert3** · 02-10-2010, 10:09 AM

it doesnt matter if they have hids or not, trucks always blind me!

oh yeah, i rock them hids in my db8 lol

It takes fucking 3 days and maybe $150 to do a proper retrofit. Quit being fags, all of you.

It took me 2 days to get mine irght .

I did mine back in 2004, when most people would say " HIDS are HOW MUCH???... NAAAHHHH, I'll just stick to regular blue bulbs" lolol

**.:Stirfry:.** · 02-10-2010, 11:33 AM

i bet the majority of the ppl on here have the every day ebay hids.
juss sayin.

**KevinT707** · 02-10-2010, 09:38 PM

This thread makes me want to retrofit sooner!

**Revmaynard** · 02-10-2010, 09:43 PM

That guy blinded me, too.

**ATL86** · 02-10-2010, 10:11 PM

Holy shit -- That guy blinded me, too.

**sirkus** · 02-10-2010, 10:40 PM

It should be illegal for trucks to have HID's. Regardless the lights blind you, HIDS just make it 10000000000000000000x worse.

Nice car seat btw.. lol

**ItsBlack** · 02-11-2010, 03:03 AM

I'm glad my rear glass is 17% tint

**preferredduck** · 02-11-2010, 03:03 AM

i was blinded by the light of and 8 ball, good song!!!

**Destineal** · 02-11-2010, 06:08 AM

I got some ebay tint I'm gonna throw on when it gets warmer. I'll have the back window professionally done though..

**WRX STi** · 02-28-2010, 09:40 PM

I have been blinded multiple times by this crap. And of course, the cops are too busy pulling you over for your illegal tint (which hurts nobody), and they dont pay attention to all the non-DOT headlights that are actually blinding people. Gotta love it.

**AllTheDude** · 02-11-2010, 09:55 AM

Thats why I just have silverstars. I wouldn't want to do that to someone else, because it annoys me so...

**antiv6** · 02-11-2010, 11:46 AM

get window tint

**.:Stirfry:.** · 02-11-2010, 11:47 AM

or dont look

**ItsBlack** · 02-11-2010, 05:15 PM

In the driver's defense, he/she probably doesn't realize how bright they actually are from another cars view. I have silverstars too, but after replacing them I just made sure they worked and called it a day.

**silverDA** · 02-11-2010, 06:34 PM

tight.

**Barefoot** · 02-11-2010, 06:50 PM

e-brake check time!!!! works like a charm and everyone backs the f@ck off.

**§treet_§peed** · 02-11-2010, 07:22 PM

That's why I got mine from Nitro. Never had but one problem, the ballast went out and he hooked me up with another one.

I had a few problems with his and he never got back to me

. Had to buy replacement stuff from someone else.

**sTeadFasT** · 02-11-2010, 07:28 PM

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.
