This happend last week. I was sitting at a light, up front, and the street had a nice curve to it so my car was on a slight incline. Directly across from me in the oncomming lanes, a truck flashes his highbeams. At first I thought he was trying to flash the signal, so didnt think anything of it. He then did it again just as the light turned green. He goes, I go, and the next thing I see is his arm fully extended out the window, giving me the finger and yelling "FUUUUCK YOUUU!!" as we pass in the night

I was laughing so hard, it was great.

Love my HIDs, love to piss people off even more

 

What a fucking numbnut...

 

Seriously. I mean, EVERYONE'S friggin lights are pointing higher at that intersection.

Here's buy a farking clue

 

HAHA...that's funny...
If you knew he was flashing his lights because of your HID's...
You shoulda flashed your high beams and showed him who was boss

 

Well, see thats the thing, I didnt know he was until it was too late. Otherwise I would have flick em on and kept em on

 

Ironic that an asshat driving a truck would give you grief for being blinded by someone's headlights.

Sorry to hear you had to meet such an ignorant fcuk.

Nice job!

 

you should try this...
once, on my last car, i adjusted the low beams too high, accidentally, and went for a long drive to pick up my mom. since it was pointed high and being very bright with the HIDs people started moving out of my way and had no slow car blocking me.

 

maybe he just wanted u're car...but couldn't afford it~~

 

HIDS are cool!

 

i used to be annoyed with hids blinding me through the rear-view.

 

Yeah my parents like to say my lights are annoying espcially when we see other beemer/ tsx/ audis and mercades around.

Its a stobe light madness haha (lexus new lights)
the ones that curve as you turn haha.

 

This is why I drive with my lights off all the time.

 

 

You too? I find I enjoy the extra "challenge" of light-less driving.

 

new RL got those too lol

 

lol Gotta love the rearview dimmers =]]

 

HIDs don't really bother me, whether oncoming or behind me, unless they happen to be on a BMW, which for some reason seem to have more glare. What's worse is headlights aimed too high by some punk driving a Cavalier tailing you on the highway when there's no other lights.

 

I'm in aus, so we get the Accord Euro with and without HIDs. Well, mine doesn't (I'm a cheap fool), but there was this vehicle with HIDs behind me and it was f*cking bright. I thought it was one of those Lexus RX SUVs that I hate. Well, when he passed, it was the Accord Euro. It's pointed too high that it was bright! I would say just as bright as high beams. Hmm, does that mean that on an incline, your high beams are worthless if you have HIDs on? I think the HIDs should be pointed lower, and if you need more lighting, the fog lamps can be used.

 

No way. My HID's are aimed perfectly for ME to see down the road. Infact, the cutoff is perfect with the horizon of a flat road. And when driving behind someone, I can tell that the cutoff is well below somones rearview window.

 

Oops, I think I better rephrase what I said because it was not 100% accurate in delivering my opinion.

With the Euro/TSX's HIDs, when I look into the low beams, it's too bright. This effect is not the same as with the regular low beam lights.I think the HIDs are really much brighter, and somehow the lens focuses it into the oncoming car.

 

i get flashed a lot too but i put my high beams on and its tight...but i think it would be cool if we had bi xenon...so if someone did flash me...id REALLY show them what high beams are. haha

 

Exactly, thats so I can see better when im driving. Its not my fault if someone is dumb enough to stare directly at my lights
