Default Dynamic Ringz too bright?

Since I put the Custom Dynamics "Dynamic ringz" in my front turn signals (with smoked lenses) I keep getting people flashing me. Has anyone else had this problem? I have a stock headlight and stock auxilliary lights.

I was kinda thinking about getting these at some point. Do they really add that much light out in front of you? It just doesn't seem like the small of a light could add that much...

They are bright, but the light isn't focused at all. The result is a huge disbursement of bright white light that at night, I could see being exceptionally bright.

I have them as well on my RGC, and certainly and happy that I've added them. Haven't been flashed, but then again, I haven't been riding very much at night since I've added them.

I have them. Granted, I've not done much night ridely since I've had them, but if you look directly at them, even in daylight, I swear you'll go blind faster than . . . . well, you get the idea. However, the same is true of the rear led's. I have the 'magic strobe' on my brake lights set to do the quick/led flash and I hear it can be 'annoying'. Like the Dynamic Ringz, I'd rather be seen and annoying that unseen and spralwed out on the road.

I'm getting ready to put the LED Daymaker's on, and I can only IMAGINE what's gonna happen then! DAYYYYUM . . . .
