Yea...that's what I was trying to describe with the W140.

Re: HID lights suck!!

Re: HID lights suck!!

Even in my truck (with a 4" lift) HID lights on SUVs are blinding. If we're the only two vehicles on the road, I just turn on my brights. He doesn't have the right to see better than me just because he can afford a $50,000 "truck". I can't wait till I get some KC Daylighters.

Before









New Stuff








After













I still haven't gotten them aimed as perfect as I'd like. Since I had a front nd collision a few years ago, my right side is a bit misaligned with the left. The guy that did my retro said he'd fix it if I took some good pics and sent it back so he could adjust the tilt on the lens but I probably wont do that til next week or so. Right now I'm just enjoying life without glare
