Sky is right, Although she is being a little kinder and a little more philosophical than I would be.

Bottom line is people that drive with their highbeams on are ***holes. Not to mention blinding oncomming traffic is stupid, nothing like a head on colision.

ur a dumbfvck....i like his lights...and from all the posts i think everyone else does too...so in the words of ICP suck my nuts b1tch f*** u

[Fenvy]

he does have some valid point and he quickly discovere the weakness of flip lights

[Jookmasta]

well i personally run hid's also and there are other factors to consider besides blinding oncoming traffic. remember that if they dont like the glare, use the little knob on the rearview mirror. lol. also i know that i find alot of people dont quite realize how bright oem hids really are in comparison to our H4's. I know that the maxima and s2000's in particular tend to blind me when they are behind me, but i dont get pissed. just move your head or adjust the mirror. As for on a 2 lane road, u got me there. it isnt really safe but i can't do anything about it except flip to my halogen bulbs if sumone flashes me......................

HID is great and all but instead of being an *** I'd rather run a set of Raybrig fog lights underneath the front bumper. A good pair of foglights/driving lights makes a huge difference.

[Fenvy]

hey I'm not THAT bad

anyways, I never had fog lights, and I read an artile suggestion they don't work too well...

I had almost given up on doing the HID conversion, reading this and seeing the pictures have got me interested again. I have run foglights(PIAA 1700X) I wasn't a fan of the way fog lights looked on the car, it was also a pain to try and match the color of the foglights to that of the headlights(using PIAA products). Plus its really about glare... if you look directly into and LED its very bright but from any direction other than head-on they dont bother most people. Plus nothing seems to irritate me more than a 4wd truck with factory headlights as far as glare goes. The ones with upgraded bulbs are even worse. BTW loveless what kit are you running in the pic in front of the bushes they didnt seem to be the blue tint that was in the garage.

I believe that we agreed that if you run bosch or hella headlamps as opposed to ebay headlamps, the glare would be significantly less (still not perfect, but ok). I'll actually be trying this out in a couple weeks or so before I decide whether or not I want to spend the time and money into retrofit. I'm sure the info was buried somewhere around here, haha.

Is this a joke?first off, HID kits are crap.Second, you installed your hid bulbs upside down LOL!

Actually, the bulbs are in the correct position. The majority of the light should be hitting the top portion of the housing. The bottom of the housing will reflect upwards. If you check out all the hid shield kits, they block the bottom of the light (i.e. mcculloch's new generation kit & aftermarket hid kit shields) - They typically have 2 slots at the bottom of the shield to allow some light to be used to light up road signs.

Also, most fo the reflection in that picture you used was probably from the angle, lighting, sun, flash, or whatever.

Those look like Halogens with a reflector on them. But what do i know. I tried the SilverStars and i though they sucked:I ended up with some Hyper Whites:

prm-racing.com carries the h4 replacement housing, and it's made of glass. it about $65

"for the trickest light setup around." im sorry.. they killed it..

Let's try and keep thread necromancy limited to situations where we have relevant information to add. I thought loveless had an update for us.

[Kenrik]

[SirSilvia]

dude I chucked those blue city lights and went to autozone and bought a strobe light kit. they fit perfectly in my set.

[altimecca]

I ended up with some Hyper Whites:

be careful of those hyper whites, they've been said to melt their housings.

[penpen-commander]

yeah, hella's are great. i have them. $50 for the set with white xenon bulbs (came with my set). no water leaks, no craptacular knock-off fakeness, just real nice h4's.
