Is it just me...
 

... That hates people who add HID kit to any f*cking vehicle? Specially those that add the kit to non-projector headlamps/fogs. I just got super blinded by a 1980-sum'int Nissan Maxima whose HID kit probably is worth more than the vehicle. I have not seen one patrol car pull over one of these bozos in NYC yet. I believe the DOT in NYC should start cracking down on this sh*t. And to top it off, he had LED strips along the top of the headlamp as if it was f*cking eyelids. :dunno:

sorry... Rant over

agreed entirely. i think HID kit looks cheap in spots where normal headlamps belong. Just pisses me off.

and i got pulled over in ithaca for "dazzling headlights" wtf, they are stock Xenons

I'm with you. I hate them, especially on old POS vehicles that are worth less than the headlights. They always go too bright and too high a Kelvin temperature so the lights look ridiculous. I see so many that are damn near purple. With the old non-projector style headlights they just look like bright haze and are blinding oncoming vehicles while not really giving them any benefit.

:loser:

It goes with the rusted out civic with huge rims and cheap high watt audio making the door panels rattle.

I totally agree. I can't believe folks who do those mods get away with it. In fact, I think ALL vehicles should have the mandatory headlight beam cutoff (instead of a diffuse pattern.......most American cars) so to reduce glare. Unfortunately the US doesn't really regulate beam patterns.......
