I figured instead of $40 for the Silverstar bulbs, I would spend a little more and get HIDs. I did research before buying them, so I know how the higher kelvin temp bulbs have less usable light output, and that stock factory HIDs, in most cars are around 5100k, so I got 6000k. My car sits low enough, and honestly I dont care if it is annoying to other drivers. I have to deal with Explorers and Tahoes and shit that there lights are eye level to my car. So just because some d-bag in an exploroer is blinding you, you find it okay to do the same to others? HID’s in an improper housing is dangerous to other drivers on the road. That and its also illegal. That being said, I think anyone who rocks HID’s in an improper housing, especially knowing the effects of it on oncoming drivers is an idiot and should be shot. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/hid-headlight-discussion/248620)._
