HIDs

Are you guys kidding...The lights on my 2K2 Maxima are the brightest I have seen. I do alot of back roads driving and they illuminate the really good on low and they are awesome on high. I must get flashed about 5 times everytime I drive at night by someone who thinks I got on high beams. If there are lights that are as bright as what you guys are talking about they must be murder on oncoming traffic!

If aimed properly, they will seem very bright.

I haven't got flashed once with the HIDs.

When I had PIAA Super Whites I used to get flashed all the time.

Then again they might be aimed incorrectly. Cause I dont feel the road is AS lit as when I had the Vision HID kit installed in my 2K1 headlamp assembly.

I think I need to aim these 2K2 lights, but then I dont have a flat surface or a wall that I can be away from at 19' and still be perfectly level.

Well most of the parking garages i been to, all have that one level at is going upwards to the next level, and if you look really closely, the other levels are "slighty" at a slant due to the water drainage for the rain.

Please forgive the old man. Last time he wandered away from home, he was found in an intersection downtown with a can of spray paint offering to paint people's calipers for $5.
