I Love My Hid's

Ive had my 2k2 tl for about 3 months now.In that time ive had about 10 people flash their lights at me at night.
First of all no i dont have my high beams on.
I just tought by now everybody would be use too these HID'S but i guess not.The point of this story is i love my HID'S.

P.S look into the light.

I have the same problem, which is probably further exacerbated because I have the fog lights on too. The only amazing thing, that as good as the HIDs are , the high beams are even brighter.

I always get high beamed. It could just be that they think I have my highbeams on or it could be that I raised my HID's higher I also blind people with my clear rear turn signals. At least people know when I'm behind them or turning.

When I first had my Cl, b4 it was lowered, I was flashed at least once a night...in the TL I have been flashed a few times too...I am sure that next week, when it's lowered I'll have no more flashes from anyone...

I've never been high beamed in my 02 TLS. I've noticed that Acura redesigned their 02 HIDs to disperse less light upwards than their 01 counterparts. I actually like this, because I don't want to be an annoyance to other drivers on the road.

Yeah, I just raised my HIDs and they are amazing! It's weird when I went to raise them, I marked the wall and then started turning the wheel towards the left towards the "U". I noticed the beam started dropping! So I went the other way and I raised it back up about .75 inches. Anyone experienced this??

I got the same problem of people high beaming me. The best is when your making a right at a light and someone is sitting at the red light on the block your getting on to. The look on there faces is really funny as the headlights focus on their car.

I get high beamed from people at least once a night. When they high beam me i usually high beam them back so they know those were my normal lights.
