Default Re: Options for HID-type halogen lights

HID's should be illegal as headlights. True, from a driver's perspective they are very nice, but from an oncoming perspective, they contract your irises to an extreme and leave you virtually blind after they have passed. This is not so much of a concern for lower cars like the Mini or TCH, but there seems to be a trend (at least im my red-neck-of-the-woods) to put the darn things in raised monster trucks. Often, you'll be faced with four HID's head on: fog lights about 2 feet off the ground and headlights about 4 feet. Ouch.
