I'm more bothered by the guy in the Trans Am racing up and down my street or the guy on the Harley that can be heard 5 blocks away.

sorry it bothers you but what is safer for everyone on the road?



hearing a car or Harley before it gets to you

or

not being able to see because someone changed there lights:confused:

I never said anything about safety. I'm just referring to what is more bothersome to me.



I live in the city so every once in a while, I'm blinded by someone's headlights but it's never to the point where I say "holy $hit, I can't see!" and then have to swerve and possibly hit a pole, pedestrian, etc. The city's surrounded by bright lights so as much glare as these plug n' play HID kits put out on some cars, it's not as bad as people make it out to be because your eyes are already adjusted to the brighter lights (in a city setting). 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
 
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 :)

That's not a true retrofit solution. That's just some bulbs and a ballast that connect to halogen connectors. No offense, but you've officially riced out your Jeep by putting HIDs in halogen housings.



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.
