The best is when ******** with 6" lifted trucks that already blind you have HID kits. I have to sit forward like a granny whenever one of those dicks gets behind me so the light shining through my side mirrors doesnt blind me. Nothing you can do when they are coming at you though. HID's suck. Period.

Problem is finding that angle. I'd rather just equip the reverse lights with some High Output bulbs for more clarity when backing up.

I had a friend in high school that had a Jeep and put one of those high powered spotlights in the back for "backing up" and "changing tires at night". Sure did get people off our ***.

(Plenty of links on installing HID, even a couple links on projectors in a Camaro and Firebird.)

No such animal on the X5. Just low beam HID.

I've seen that site before, but couldn't find the link.
I updated the post to which I linked in my above post.
