change out your bulbs to something brighter. 4100/4300k will be your brightest aka oem style. 6000k will be also better. the higher the heat the darker your light will be. ---

Omfg, I hate people who install their HIDs wrong. I was going through an intersection the other day, and this car angled it’s fucking lights right in my eyes (the road is on a bend a little bit), and my eyes got screwed up for a few seconds and I didn’t even see a kid on a bike on the side of the road. I was almost had a heart attack after I saw the kid on the bike swirve off to the side to avoid me. _Edit_ I forgot to say. Don’t be a jackass like this guy =) Install them right. and uhm. Don’t ever turn them on either. Or something. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hid-conversion/23212.md?page=1)
