This is actually pretty disturbing behavior. Do you get off on torturing small animals too?

Anyways back to the subject, i had to adjust the level on my 05 because of the same issue.
I went one night to a parking lot and stood in front of my car with some distance and i can see why they are flashing at me.
It had nothing to do with the fog light but my low beams were blinding me.
I adjusted them lower and the flashing has stopped.

calm down everybody

whooooaaaaa

I never thought a simple ? about hi-beaming would bring out the "douche" in some ppl. thanks mod for banning the moron.

also, I don't condone hi-beaming oncoming traffic to prove somethin, I would just give a quick flick not tryin to injure anyone.

UPDATE: bought some Nokya 2500k "JDM yellow" bulbs and everything has been a-ok. no more hi-beaming!

thanks for the positive comments and interest. as for all that other bs, people never cease to amaze me... 2 words: GROW UP or gtfo threads where ur not contributing whatsoever.

there's my rant for the day, damn e-thugs haha

I got the same from a cop. Coming up towards each other at a stop sign, he put his spot light on me. I just stopped on the other side of the intersection trying to figure out WTF was going on. Then he turned it off after about 15 seconds. I pulled forward and asked him what was up. He said, you need to turn your brights off. I told him they were not on and he said he saw the brights on next to the headlights. I was like dude, those are fog lights and backed up and flipped on the brights in his face. I pulled forward again next to him and he said, "Ok, but those are as bight as bright lights. Yeah, those little 9006 bulbs really put out the blinding light next to the HIDs

Not the first cop I've proven wrong and won't be the last...

just noticed this, they are 55w's.

total price for them was ~$42 shipped. I honestly went to google, typed in piaa 9006 bulb and I think the first or second link is where I ordered them. the PIAA's were $78 and I couldn't see spending $30+ for them instead of the Nokyas, which are 2500k's anyhow.
