i would hate you too, as i do with all jerkasses who feel they need rediculously bright headlights. at a certain point, its not for function, its strictly an appearance mod. well, it might be nice, IF it didnt impair the vision of the drivers around you, putting other people's lives and well being at stake...

sure they look nice and all, i just cant get down with something that truly pisses off everybody around me, and creates a bad driving environment, just so i can say, ohh look at my bright lights....

You're getting crazy glare. Aim them down! At 10k even with 55w they shouldn't be that bad to oncoming traffic if you have them aimed correctly. Rigth now they look like they're aimed right into oncoming eyes.

Amazing how you seem proud of oncoming traffic hating you.

First of all, those 8k and 10K lights aren't helping you see any better, as the pavement/asphalt sucks in the light you throw at it.

The most visible light is between 3k and 5k.

Please aim them down at the very least.

yes i HATE people with their damn bright *** lights and driving with their brights on... i was just explaining to my friend if i was a cop i would pull over every bastard driving with their brights on and if it was a mistake just let them go, if they have them on cause they have a headlight out i'd give them a ticket, bottom line... in your case a cop can still give you a ticket but iunno if they do... aim them down please!

Thanks for your oppinions, thats why I posted. Perhaps I will adjust the aim a bit. LMAO

SIKE!!!

There are a **** load of trucks with the same kinds of lights. When they get behind me in tracffic, their lights consume my mirrors. Nothing I can do about it. If they can do it without tickets, so can I. I particularly love it when they flash me, and then I cut on my brights. HAHAH

If you dont like it, KICK ROCKS.

I agree that these lights are an appearance mod. But they also improve my visibility 10 fold over stock. Not only can I see a lot better but people can see me. IMHO this is no worse than the several people I see every day texting or talking on the phone. When I pass people see my lights and move. No waiting for them to realize Im trying to get by. Its nice

This light i have is plenty, and illuminates eveything just fine. I love them. 55w bulbs have a bit of washout. So to maintain a bit of color I went with 10k

You need to aim those down before you make somebody swerve off the road. That's a douche' card if you ask me.
