Unless you get true projector headlights, you are going to blind oncoming traffic. I had HIDs and I took them out because of this.

Now I have a heavy-duty headlight harness and some Autopal headlight housings. I'm perfectly happy with the light output and I don't blind other drivers.

I believe this to a point, i know for the most part it will blind people. But since ive got mine, ive only been flashed 3-4 times in about a year and a half. I may look around and see if i can get some projectors tho, i would like my output to be a bit more uniform.

I did snap some pics, ill upload them a bit later

here are some pics of mine.

All pics are with my bumper lights on, which are Hella 500 FF's with silverstars in them. Soon upgrading to 6000k hids from that ddmtuning site (thanks for recommending everyone)




v- low beams


v- high beams


edit: also, these are all taken with my phone. They do spread the light a bit wider than shown here, and the high beams make a VERY noticeable difference in person

X2 don't trust eBay. I've got the fake set sitting in my garage currently. Im trying to figure out if i should smash them or not just to get some enjoyment out of them. $50 down the drain.

Yeah, I had 8k's and they did that too. Oh well, I guess it's really personal choice. And as long as you like them...
