LOL, again. i said that id adjust the hdlight, not just the housing itself, but the whole bracket. just drove home today from Baker St. behind my buddy's TL-S and its not blinding him. so, if its not blinding him, then it wont blind the incomin traffic.

like i said, it wont justify anything, but well see after awhile. so dont worry folks, got it under control.

Bro... You will blind the ˟˟˟˟˟ out of incoming traffic.... Park your car on the sidewalk at night... Leave the lights on... Walk about 50 feet away... take a look at it... Now bend down a little so your eyes are approx. where the driver of a car is... I bet you'll blind yourself... Hell... move left and right.... Now try 100 feet away...

Xenons are sweet as hell if you do it right... Heck, I still have my OE BMW E39 Projectors, Hella Ballast, and Phillips bulbs sitting in my garage waiting to retrofit on... However due to my lift, no matter how I set it up, I will blind everyone... Hence why they are still sitting there...

Whatever works for you I guess...

if you look into the housing and can see the capsule part of the bulb (the part that burns ...) then you are sending a ton of glare into the eyes of oncoming cars. at the very least get some casper shields,they are 20 bucks shipped, and do what i did, modify them to block the light that does not go into the reflector. i used a quarter on the front and jb welded it and then used a piece of aluminum tubing to cover the top infront of the bulb to block useless light from glaring. ill eventually get around to shooting some pics of them....

my h4 shield/bulbs will most likely be for sale as im working on getting the stuff gathered for a TL bixenon retro.

I swapped out my crap stock bulbs with Silverstars. I've even lowered the beam, but still get flashed all the damn time. Yeah, I'm an attention whore.
