It's actually a lot brighter than any halogen bulb, believe me. If you're going to insult my ride, please use a little intelligence, you've never used these lights so there's no way of knowing if they are brigter than any halogen bulb, dumbass.
Yeah I'm aware of that, these actually don't put off that bad of a glare. I do plan on doing the projector retrofit sometime in the futue.

here is some intelligence. blue light is teh suxxor.
try driving in rain then realize you are blind. water scatters blue frequencies and you get a lot less light reflected back. so have fun with your killmobile.
you know why actual fog lights are yellow ? you know why the sky is blue ?
think hard. those lights pretty much scream 'dumb' and I ain't afraid to say it. i am not saying you
are anything but an upstanding citizen. but the lights say something else.
they do look cool, and i wish so much that the physics behind light and water. and water vapor were different and
blue light was actually safe. but blue light is just unsafe for the driver. you just cannot see as well
as white or yellow. it is a fact plain and simple. UNSAFE. may as well drive drunk.
you 'can be seen' from a jillion miles away because of the blue light scatter,
(which is why cop lights are blue) but
you, the driver cannot see a damn thing when it matters most.

I could almost cry, why would you do something so horrible as that?
So your saying these are unsafe for me as well. I find that funny when you haven't driven my vehicle in bad weather with these headlights, but yet you are so certain that they are unsafe. Let me correct you, these put out plenty of light and I can see just fine, if not better than I have ever have. Last night it was pouring, I mean cat's and dog's, and I was on a dark two lane road passing other vehicles and I could see fine! I haven't had a problem at all with being able to see and I've already driven in some pretty intense weather.

but
what you believe,
vs
scientific fact about light frequencies and water vapor ...
does not add up, and will never add up
if you need to overdrive your light output to compensate, then
it -is- dangerous for other drivers as they are blinded by your setup
if it isn't overdriven, then your vision, as a driver, is compromised by
your choice of blue.
a true HID system is white light with plenty of yellow buried in it
a normal system is a lot of yellow
and only the majority of yellow is able to punch through water and water
vapor.
......whatever....

personally i dont know much about HID lights. i started reading this thread in hopes of gaining some insight to the pros and cons of HID's, but as i read each post i noticed valid reasons to support both sides of this argument. However, when it all comes down to it, nobody can accuratley judge the "blinding effect" of Fo's ride until you've driven down a road at night with him traveling the opposite direction. I know im young and new to all this but that just seems logical to me.
Now, if people feel the need to correct me in anyway so be it. As stated, i dont know much about the topic but im eager to learn what i can.

oh no im not saying anything bad to him. i really like the lights and am begging my dad for some right now. i meant for that last post to be for the people giving him crap about some glare that probably doesnt exist. unless they see his car how can people know if they're blinding?
