To those of you that like running the aftermarket "HID" bulbs, you aren't running HID. HID uses a projector and you are still running a reflector, which completely trashes the light beam and causes eye strain and temporary blindness for other drivers. Congratulations, you are a dick. On the other hand, if you did it correctly and changed it over to true HID, instead of the $35 ebay specials, thank you for not blinding me everytime you ride by. Likewise with the LED guys, if your lights are aimed correctly, they work without causing problems for oncoming traffic.
have been running my $35 e bay HID head light in my stock bucket and reflector , and HID bulbs in my spots for over a year now and have ran several times at night with not one car flashing me and I can see great ,I did adjust mine , so it is not all the HID kits out there or the $ 35 e bay kits , maybe the adjustment is what needs to be done for proper lighting , but I do agree with you that some lights out there are blinding and most I see are on cagers
