Don't worry about it. If you were behind that guy, he would be blind as well... just that your light doesn't seem as bright when you are in the car, try to turn it on and stand in front of it.... I used to think my HID isn't that bright but one day i was driving my friend's Toyota, man did i notice the difference!

actually, there is one possibility.... how long have you own the car?? When the battery goes downhill the HID won't be as bright... so maybe check your battery

Clean it with some plexus or clear vision.

His lights may be positioned higher... My headlights are always on the lower half of the guy in front of my car's bumper. I do think it's a drop lower than usual, but I've driven in front of my car while my bro was driving my car, and my headlights are nice, even, and don't blind anyone!

It also could be your tint diffusing the intensity of the HID's.
