How often do you get "flashed" by other drivers at night due to the glare created my your headlights?

I have KOPS 6000K D2S bulbs and I get flashed occasionally. I can tell my headlights are irritating other drivers. I orginally bought the bulbs because they were supposedly D2R bulbs and I thought they would have the U-shaped masking on them, but they don't.
Maybe I'll just figure out how to aim the beam lower.

If you have HID's you gonna get flashed every now & then. Your problem is you have the D2s capsules. They are meant to be used in projectors & will cause quite a bit of glare in reflector type HIDs like ours. Go over to www.hidforum.com I think you might be able to purchase the cover seperatly but not sure. Use search on that site

Yeah, I'm on hidforum.com once and a while. I'll have to check on the covers.

Thanks
