I hate HID's to no end. The crappily installed ones the most, but OEM ones aren't much better once you toss rain on the road or a hill into the equation. Honestly, when driving in town you barely need headlights, let alone HID's. For darker roads, isn't that what highbeams are for? An HID highbeam/standard lowbeam would be the ideal combo methinks (OEM of course)

at 10+K, altho NOT brighter, the colour starts getting DARKER, which is illegal when it's too blue. (higher K = bluer/purple-er colours)
I run 7000k HID's in my reflector housing in my car, but had it carefully tuned for height, and had it tested while I was in another vehicle facing it in opposite ends of traffic. It was good. No blinding, no killing eyes.
But when ppl in trucks/SUV's have their HID's pointed SUPER high, it pisses me off to no end (ESPECIALLY the asian drivers)

Congratulations, your lights still suck.
