I think it all has to do with how the lights are installed on the car. I've had cars with really bright headlights behind me that were no problem, then others that wern't even that bright that drove me nuts.

You're right on, Roy! It all depends on the aim of the lights. I was careful with the Saleens to keep from aiming them too high. I've been driving them a week now with no one flashing me. I know I'm not blinding anyone. The light output from these things is incredible compared to stock.

Mainly though it's how they are aimed which is the biggest part of the install. I hate seeing a car with one bright headlight and one regular headlight. it's one of my biggest pet peve's. If you don't know how to install a bulb and aim it correctly, then drive with the one headlight out and get it installed by someone who knows who to aim. Sorry for the rant, it has always bothered me [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img] .


EDIT: I forgot to read the 2nd page, ha, it was already mentioned.

I left the stock fogs - they contrast my Saleen HIDs nicely! Hey, if I spent $1099 for the HID kit I *want* some sort of contrast to make it obvious... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

Not feeling the yellow...

ALSO... every cop on the road will pick you out at night, so don't speed!!! You will stand out like a cockroach on a wedding cake.
