People who have halogens and trucks with lift kits should be shot on sight.

Gbaji, technically 5000K is still on the white part of the color scale. Actually it's considered about as close to natural sunlight as possible. It's 6000K and up that start to get into the blue and purple hues. 5500K is about the highest I would recommend for headlight color temperature.
Yeah. I can never remember which numbers are which exactly. I do know that anything above 5000 and you'll start getting noticeable blue in the light (which is often exactly why people go that high). And up around 8000 it's noticeably purple. Personally, I think anything brighter than what is needed to be able to safely see the road is excessive. People do that pretty much purely for looks and use better visibility as an excuse for what they are doing.
Oh my god, gbaji not only corrected himself after hearing someone bring up a point, he actually made his post short, simple to understand, and even said something I can agree with. I... I actually rated him up.
I'm scared now, is the world going to end?
It's simply a sign. We haven't reached 2012 yet.

People don't like to be meddled with. We tell them what to do, what to think, don't run, don't walk. We're in their homes and in their heads and we haven't the right. We're meddlesome. ~River Tam

I know it's been mentioned already, but halogen lights are standard on pretty much every car made in the last 20-25 years. Unless you're driving your parents 1970s dodge, you've got halogens in your car.

I know that xenon and halon are two different gases.
Beyond that halogen lights have a filament, HIDs do not. They are completely different methods of generating light.

It still stands, though: they generally don't re-aim their lights, and it goes directly into your rear view.

Yeah. I'm one part messing with you, and one part pet peeve. ;)

It's worse than that though. The proper directing of light in a reflector lens relies on the filament being at the correct focal point. If it's not the light will not properly reflect in a beam but will scatter in all directions. This is why there are different bulbs for different models of car. If someone has refitted a reflector lens with HID lights, no amount of aiming it properly will eliminate the glare that light will put out. Add to that a light that is 3 times as bright and you've got a ridiculous situation.
And on top of that, some people who equip those lights still just don't get it. I was reading one site where a guy was talking about how he kept aiming the light up higher and higher because the light was bright enough to illuminate farther. He was marveling about how after he'd upgraded to HIDs, he could see so much farther straight down the road in front of him. Talk about "not getting it". He was completely oblivious to what he was doing to the other drivers.

I should put HIDs on my bicycle to **** people off, now that I think about it.
