Are hid,s blinding people or.....

i see soo many lifted trucks with hids that are like 6k or 8k freakin blue and i hate it when they are behind me...even worse when im on my motorcycle...

 

you mad brahh?

 

especially the silver trucks... with the evo mod... and a retro sticker for the tailgate.....not mad, just sayin

 

Ya that punk ass dude...always gotta keep blinding Asians

 

jesus christ that pic is what i'm talking about lol

if you passed that truck on a dark road you would literally blind someone for a few seconds effectively taking their eyes off of the road ahead of them thats why they are not safe and are illegal in nj at least.

 

You're almost reaffirming what I said, which was HID lows aren't going to do much more than a normal halogen high beam would, which your picture shows, and actually shows the high beam is still more effective for what the high beam is intended to do for night visibility. If my high beams DIDN'T light up that fence in the rear I'd be returning the vehicle for lights that don't function properly. The high beam is supposed to throw light further than the low beam, which is seen in the picture. If you had a vehicle which utilized separate bulbs for lows and highs and had HID's in the highs too(which would be stupid) the fence would still be lit up. The HID's aren't more concentrated. You're just comparing the normal functionality between the low and high beam which isn't just brightest of the light output.

 

Offroad they're great (HID's) on the street they suck & should be illegal& if they are illegal it should be enforced, you can say "They're ok if set up right." all day long but wont matter because theres too many DB's that wont "set up right" & just think its cool to blast the night with fucked up scattered light...just my $.02

Your stock HID's are by far the best quality HID set-ups out there. The poster did say, a good quality HID set-up. Just cause it's an expensive car and an engineering marvel, doesn't mean they spent a lot of time on the headlights.

 

No, not really a great neighborhood. I just didn't take him seriously unitl he hit my truck

 

i still cant believe that happened bro...

 

What glare???

 

i dont see shiet.

 

well silverstar ultras come to mind right off the bat i actually put a set in my truck before i did my first retrofit. they actually did make an improvement over the stock bulb.

stay away from the bulbs that have the blue coatings most all of them are complete crap.

if you can find a reputable place try clearcorners.com you can purchase infared reflecting bulbs. just watch what wattage you pick stay with in the factory numbers and they will produce a fairly large improvement over stock bulbs.

some will say things about ir bulbs but, i have had experience with them and they have worked nicely for me.

 

haha i'm blinded ahh!

 

Glare you say?



I'm cheating though

 

I always wondered this to, is it just the light or are they just not aimed correctly cause almost every damn vehicle i see with HID`s blind me

 

Nice set up!

 

hids are meant to be used with projectors or at very least shrouds around the bulbs, it does not matter how much you try to aim them

Everytime I see some stupid ass that just threw a hid kit in their housings I turn on every light (brights, fogs, (4) 7" Hids), just to let them know how it feels.

 

lol me too the fuckers can't see right for a week lol.
