    I get the same problem all the time...even with the BHLM they are still just as bright. The good part is when someone wants to be a dickhead about it, i just become a dick right back....so when they give me the finger, i just throw on my high beams and blind the shit out of them til the finger goes away. then i go back to my normal beam and they let me me pass hahaha

    Thats why i went and got some ebay hid projector headlights. The cutoff is the problem with the oem lights....there is none so you're shooting light everywhere. I setup my projector cut off so that if i ride up about 2 feet behinds someone bumper i'll blind them in their rear view and side mirrors. Any further back than that and its fine...I gotta be able to still be an ass to nutty drivers if i want.
