The halogen reflector/lens was not designed for HID and the beam pattern sucks, it can be blinding.
As for the high beam idiots worried about puddles - drive with 2 hands, then puddles won't rip your hands off the wheel and cause you to crash. | |

But since it is in the summer on clear bright days, I expect everyone to be wearing shades so my high beams should not be blinding anyone.

People cant judge the distance and speed with the high beam on at night, so better chance some moron pulls out in front of you and kills you.
*EDIT*
Just read your other post, so this goes to everyone else, you understand.

I don't want to sound mean or cold blooded, but didn't I say this was gonna happen sooner or later. http://www.news1130.com/news/local/m...29_132850_5468
Of all the people that go hit, 3 were jay walkers for sure.

Yes, we all know its slightly harder to see the road at night during the last week of heavy downpour. The simple solution to the matter is, DRIVE SLOWER. In the condition it was in last night, I was even afraid to go 100kmh on Hwy 91. There were so much standing water on the road that I could feel the car starting to weave left and right. Having your high beams on WILL NOT stabilize your car any better. It WILL NOT enhance your ability to control your car if anything does happen. It WILL NOT make the rain stop. It WILL NOT make the water on the road in front of you evaporate any faster.
Do you high beaming nutjobs realize that you are actually blinding oncoming drivers, making it harder for them to see the road? They can only see just as well as you can see with low beams. Please do not be a selfish and inconsiderate hazard on the road! To all RS'ers, please take a look at your cars today, make sure your high beams are not pushed on accidentally. Please also take a look at any other family member's cars too!
Another word of advice, if you have a burnt out headlight, replace the bulb ASAP. This is seriously a "NO SHIT SHERLOCK" advice but you will be surprised how many people would rather use their high beams than spend another 10 bux and 30 mins of their time changing a bulb (unless its HID, then its a little pricier). I have personally seen many many people driving with high beams on just because one of their low beam bulbs have burnt out. |
+1 for you. hate high beams at night
