WTF??! I can understand why people with CARS would like HID lights, but why the fuck does ole jimbo in his F-350 need HID's for??'ll tell you, TO BLIND THE FUCK OUT OF EVERY CAR HE PASSES!!
Goddamn it I nearly got into and accident last night because I was going down this windy road, and on a left bend, a truck came and swept his HID BRIGHTS for gods sake across my eyes and I was completley dazzled! I had to slam on my brakes cause I couldnt see shit, and sit there in the road for at least 3 minutes before I could see good enough to drive again. I was pissed. Still am. I dont understand which manufactuerer thought that was a good idea "lets see, the average car driver's head sits between 4 and 5 feet off the ground, and the average pickup truck has its headlights between 4 and 5 feet off te ground... yes, lets install HID's!"
:mad: :mad: :finger4: :finger4: :finger4:

Ive had exactly the same thing happen to me, Steel. HID's are the worst for blinding people. And to make matters worse, alot of people don't dim there hi's when they approach another vehicle. :mad:

I have Sylvania Silverstar Halogens on my car, not quite as bright as HID's but not as narrow, and still much brighter than normal halogens. I recommend them to anyone!:)
