HID Lighting

I've been blinded (and more distracted) more often by the lights on the Vegas strip than I ever have from other drivers with illegal HIDs.

Now if I lived up in the mountains and was driving on dark, curvy roads then all of a sudden some ba$tard came around the corner with bright HIDs or his high beams on, then yeah I'd be pissed.

Even if I was referring to safety, I'd gladly take the chance of being blinded for a sec. than possibly having a child run over because some idiot thought that going 55 on a quiet, residential street was cool. And usually the bikers with the loud, modified bikes are just as guilty as the guy swapping out his stock headlights for HIDs.

I was just looking at things a different way that's all

but my loud cars are legal the 81 Z28 has had the DB checked several times
and passes with flying colors and my 97 Z28 is fine also if I keep the cutout closed

55 on a quiet, residential street is stupid
but not every one with a fast or loud car is dangerous
I am just outside of the city and some of the lights that people put on there car
do make you loose sight of things for a few seconds

I have got some on my daily driver, '94 Integra GS-R, and I love them....they were from ebay and only $150.

35w 6000k in both fogs and low beams
lowbeams are projectors, b/c putting hids in reflectors is the dumbest thing i've ever heard of

You'll have to actually do a TRUE retrofit if you want the beam to focus properly and most importantly, not blind oncoming drivers. Or if you're lucky, you'll find someone who produces decent projectors for sale for your vehicle.
