I mostly ignore it and use the white line on the side of the road for guidance until they pass. It can be annoying but I would rather be slightly annoyed than flash high beams or other lights at someone and possibly cause an accident.

I was 18 I had My Jeep J-10 with four sets so (8 lights) I was driving along musta been midnight and this car was coming towards me with aftermarket fogs on the bumper and his highs on so I flicked my high switch and nothing flicked em again still nothin so I hit him with everything, next thing I know he whips around flips his cherries on and i'm pulled over. Moral of the story make sure it ain't a cop when you blind the other vehicle :S Luckily I knew the cop (joys of a small town) so I got a very fierce warning not to do that again.

It's against the law in Illinois to not dim your lights to oncoming. Ticketable offense. Ask my buddy how he knows. Your situation is bull****. Give an ******* a badge.....

That is exactly why i dont have kc's on my jeep. I get a little mad at people driving sometimes. The pa horn is more than enough for me.
