Default How often do people flash their brights at you for your HIDs

I have an 8K kit so it's not like they're super bright like the 6K kit, on average though I get someone flashing their brights at me about twice a night. I try to react quick enough to flash mine back at em to show em they're being stupid.

How often does everyone else get flashed?

I have 6k HIDs and i dont get flashed at all. i used to when i took out my lamps, then replaced them incorrectly (the cut off line was off), but after i fixed that, havent had problems with other people flashing me.

I have had my 6k's for about a year now and have only been flashed once that I can recall. They are aimed at stock height as well and still no problems.

Never, I find HID's less blinding than poorly aimed halogens.

I didnt get HID's to ____ off people, I got them to see better when driving at night to which I have a bit of a problem and have for a while. With HID's I see much better when driving at night so i bought them for my mom as an XMAS present so she would feel safer when driving at night.

I flash my brights at people not mostly to ____ them off, but to show them that they are wrong and I'm not some mean person driving with my high beams on.

I have an 8K kit so they have some blue to them, I would think people are used to knowing what it looks like when someone is driving with HID's and when someone is driving with their high beams on.
