    Eyebuttons will focus on brightest source.... throwing hids in fogs and having them low to the ground makes perfect sense.

    If you are near sighted and drive 20mph

    There's no insulting going on, it's just common sense. Either you glance to the solid line and avoid the light or you stare like a deer and get hurt. The careless drivers are those distracted by lights instead of focusing on what's ahead and behind you in your lane.

    And who's trying to use proper grammar and punctuation? In case you haven't noticed, it's a forum. Full of horrible grammar. No one cares though but you Mr. "umad bro?". If you want to tell me about proper grammar, try using some yourself.

    And my visibility has improved plenty, the light of the trees are the highs just like the stock bulbs would do. Like I said, haven't been flashed, pulled over, ticketed, or seem to have blinded anyone. The day one of those gets brought to my attention, I will remove them.

    HID's or LED's or Light bars used on road are all bad no matter what. Do people use them? Yes. Do people seem to care? No. Bash and hate all ya'll want. I posted a reply to this thread and that's all I intended to do. Ya'll took it to the extreme.

    if your only concern is whats ahead and behind in your lane, why do you have your highs pointed at the moon and so much concern over throwing light to the sides? thats how you justified your hid fogs... think your exact words in post #27 were "the fogs spread the light off to the sides to make up for the lack of that with the lows."

    I think he's too far gone. He'll soon be adding HID's to his license plate lights for Xtreme Vizability.

    It's just the way the pic came out and there's also a slight incline on the road.... The LED's that were in my lows (currently in highs) gave good light to the sides just not far enough so I got HID's. The set I threw I the fogs gives the spread of light to the sides like I wanted so reasons why I got them... strays running across the road in my neighborhood, lots of deer that sit off to the side of the road where I work and when traveling at night to EP. I'd like to be able to have them in sight and have a chance to stop if they decide to jump. That's my concern for throwing light to the side. Those are the only times I have my fogs on.

    Let's pretend I'm neutral on this thread.....my question is


    How the hell do you aim your highs and lows in different directions when they're in the same housing...:confused:

    OMG that sounds like a great idea! I can't believe I never thought of that before! That will help when in reverse! So much better than just upgrading bulb to led you're so smart! Thanks Petey Pablo! :wave: lmao

    What you're doing is illegal.

    It's literally a federal law.
