but yeah I guess if you didn't aim them down then you would see more, it's just not being thoughful to the other drivers.

I have only had a maybe 4 people flick their lights...within a 2 month time frame....
Still doesn't mean your not throwing off glare.

yup, no yellow at all. i believe the 6k will have a small hint of blue. i didn't want that which is why i went with 4300k, pure white.


and to the above, only 4 people, lol. you should have NO people flashing you. the reason why people flash you are because of the glare you are causing.

If I flashed my lights everytime i saw bright lights I would be doing it all the time. Trucks sit higher therefore when they pass sometimes their stock lights shine right in my eye which could be mistaken for high beams.

a friend found some hids for 80 bucks on ebay for me. i just installed them and they are great. not sure if they'll last long or not.

i think the reason why hids blow out so fast is cause people like turning them on and off.
