    So does this not make the car with improper HIDs obvious? I love the people who have this and are like "they don't blind anyone" :facepalm:

    I see people with lights like that all the time that bright, you guys have them, you're just trying to justify your actions. lol

    I don't see why people aren't pulled over for that more frequently.

    IIRC it was a newer 4-door civic, which do not have such lenses.

    It's easily 8k. 6k is not anywhere close to being that blue. I have 6k in my lights and it's nothing like that as you can see.

    Then it was definitely a really high wattage kit and 8000k lights. If you looked at a bone stock 1st gen IS300 head on, my lights look exactly the same, just a slight difference on the color.

    Had a damn 2000 model Mustang with some HIDs behind me tonight and i couldn't see anything but glare around. I Then myself was riding behind my sister at one who said anytime i was within 10 feet she was blinded. I now have come to the conclusion I wish i had at least got a high/low kit so i could change the beam when around others or passing others. I feel like such a douche when others flash and I can't dim mine cause its single beam Ugh!
