Trust me 55 watt high beams, 35 watt low beams, and 35 watt fog all HIDS with all on mod, when the F-ers won't dim there lights I flash them... They dim them instantly everytime:angel:

How about the idiots that drive around with there headlights on during the day because there too lazy to clean the junk mail off there dash?
I would be bad at this I bet, but I haven't been in a line for either of those in years probably. I do feel kind of bad for the people in little cars that my truck lights up the whole cabin of, but if it really bothers them I guess they should tint their windows. I do try and keep enough space that it doesn't glare off their mirrors.
I once drove a 900 mile trip nonstop over night with my HIs on. I was in a unfamiliar vehicle that had a light on the dash to tell you the DRLs where on, so when I flipped the lights on I didn't notice the HI beam indicator. I didn't get flashed but a couple times. I know I did flash one of them my Lows and didn't notice, but it was well into my trip:banghead:
I have gotten over most of the other things they do. I spend way to much time on the road to be angry all the time...:thumb:
I don't know how you could do such a job.
I frequent some really bad parts of town. Ones that cops tell you to leave after dark. Never had any real issues. I've have had my hand on my S&W and turned around and left some gas stations right after pulling up into a spot though.
Hey thats a contractors filing cabinet.:roflmao: I don't know how they do it. The glare during the day drives me nuts and I drive a little to spiritedly.
Your guys trucks are clearly too low to let this issue bug you lol.
People driving with their highs on has never bugged me even when behind me. My tint kills most of the light out.
What gets me is guys flashing me as if my highs are on, I flash back, then they turn their brights on and leave them on. Sadly for them, my light bar and HIDs win that game

I have a light bar mounted in the back window of my caddy just for that. Can't have the other person have the upper hand haha. I also have two KC lights behind the grill.
This is funny. When I lived in MD the idiots NEVER dimmed their brights. In Colorado Ive seen maybe 3 people total even use them. And it is DARK out here at night.
Agreed.... These hippies in the PNW are bad... At least once a day someone has their highs on during the day.... Never had this issue in the Midwest.
Its really bad out here in CA... Especially with prius and any other small car that have no concept of driving and common sense....When your lane is ending don't wait until the last second to merge, do it waaay before then.. of course people do it to me when I am towing my trailer and they get pissed at me because I didn't give them room...well, your the one not paying attention to a truck with a trailer next to you....lol
Applying rules of the sea to roads would fix a lot of propbkems.. Bigger(length/weight) more right away it has.. If there is a wreck smaller vehicle is at fault
People with cheap HID's stuffed in the crap stock housings are probably the only things that annoys me more than people who drive around with their high beams on.
I dont care what you think, I dont care what your eyes might be tricking you into thinking, but you really arent seeing that much better than stock headlights. And you're annoying the crap out of everyone else on the road. And dont say you "have them aimed correctly to compensate". There is no compensating for a housing that is designed for a light source in a completely different location. Stick with your stock halogen bulbs or stop being lazy and retrofit a proper set of bi-xenon projectors. After getting used to my retrofit for a couple years, I realize how pathetic the stock-housings-with-HIDs are when I drive friends' trucks (who have stock housings with cheap HID's)...its such a relief when I get back into my truck and have light that is actually EVENLY DISTRIBUTED, focused, and doesnt blind oncoming drivers, or people in front of me in lower cars.
But then again why do I even bother ranting about this...no one listens to me and everyone thinks im full of shit anyways. :dontknow:

Ben, I complain about the HID thing constantly. Especially if they're behind me and I'm in my car. No one seems to understand that the projectors have a cut off point for the light and focus the beam toward the road, where it should be.
Projectors are tits. Converted my Caddy and plan on doing the Dmax if it would stop breaking down. Got my kit from theretrofitsource.com. Way cheaper to do than you would think!
Amen, I despise idiots (sadly pickup trucks love to toss HIDs in every available outlet and run it all on at night) who run cheapo HID "kits". Glare everywhere and local hot spots no better than halogens.
****ing do it right or just get quality halogen bulbs. The highbeams don't bother me near as bad as the cheap HID crap.
And yes, I am holier than thou, love me bi xenon
Out side driving on the wrong side of the road. Yes it makes more sense that way.. Though government would make law to protect people from acts of Darwinism....
IMO the cheap HID kits scatter the light so bad I don't think they are as bad. I put one in my GMC(probably the style of lenses) and it putt any amazing amount of light straight up. LOL
When I drove with my headlights on brite trust me people would freak Especially when they wouldn't yield the left lane I could literately light up their interior!
The old Phillips Ralley 55 w low 100 w highs all 4 on wicked!
Although my biggest pet peeve is people that wont put their headlights on when its raining or at dusk! That really yanks my chain also!

100% agree to all the above. I thought maybe it was just a ohio thing mostly but see its all over united states. Driving slow in the fast lane, texting, can't merge, pulling out in front of someone, Seeing somone is coming far down the road and not hitting dim lights till there right close to you. Driving with one headlight out and the high beams on has been so bad this year its fckin pathetic.
