how are you getting high beamed with stock headlights? im at 6" and 35s and never get flashed. i didnt re-aim mine when i lifted it and my head lights are decent, but kind of dim. id like to get HIDs or projectors as well since i do alot of back road driving.
as for the comment on flashing people with 55w blazers, that deserves a :laugh: if walmart lights with stock bulbs are bright, dont get hellas or you might blind yourself
i have 100w bulbs in the bajas on my bumper for dirt roads and even they arent as bright as the hellas on my roof.

that is odd, that you get flashed alot. i never get any and i am at 5" and 31s. oh well, if they keep flashing you, take it to an inspection station and ask them if you can use their headlight check point and adjust to that. then if people keep flashing you its ok to flash them back as you are legal

I rarely get flashed when im in the jeep. 4.75" lift and have HIDs and 2 hella 500's on the bumper
i think after owning the hids for 7-8 months i only got flashed 2-3 times. One of those times being i was in a left turn lane, and the guy across from me was also in the left turn lane at a red light and the road was a bit higher on my side. he kept flashing his at me and i tried to ignore it since my low beams were on but he did it the whole time we were sitting there. flashed my brights and he gave me the finger so i flipped my overheads on. Normally dont do that cause i know its wrong, but i showed him my highbeams werent on.

yea they light up the road pretty nice and illuminate road signs like you wouldnt believe.
was supprised that when i went up north a few weeks ago that when i was behind people in our convoy, that they were actually getting blinded mroe by the hellas on the bumper so i aimed them down a bit more.
love my HIDs though

i think i paid 140 for mine including the new housing for the bulbs. and i think i paid the extra 10 to get high and low instead of low beam hid, high beam halogen.
edit: was worth every penny to.

Wait what are they flashing you? Are they girls?
Lol just trying to add some comic relief.
But seriously if 9/10 people flashed their lights at me I would be worried that my Jeep is on fire not being too bright
