I get that sometimes....It seems to me that some TL have brighter HID. I have taken my TL to the local dearer to adjest the height of my headlight and What the dealer told me was that my headlights was ok in terms with height adjestment, but have a brighter characteristic....

You really could've said that better chief.
You almost ran into a fiery response.

Cool

The majority of the time I do get flashed. Believe it or not but our HID is up there with the big boys. Don't let the diffuser fool you that much because at certain angles it is blinding.

Ever since I got my PIAA 1700x fogs, I get flashed a lot more. They are almost as bright as our HIDs so you can just imagine how bright my car looks like in the front.

I get it too, but I am an ass about it...
Even in snow and salt conditions (here in Massachusetts), I clean the lenses daily just so I can have them at their brightest.
Call me a jerk, but I LOVE the fact that my car stands out!

I get flashed all the time and my PIAA 1200s make it even worse. Too bad I can't flash them back though. If I'm at a red light and they're facing towards me I just turn my car towards them. It really is bright though, maybe I can get them aimed lower.
