Alright, I'm tired of getting flashed by oncoming traffic. I've got the Prolumen H4 hi/low kit installed and have them aimed down. What should I do to get rid of the glare? Isn't there a shield somewhere? The only thing is that it is for a rebased bulb, which I do not have. Please don't suggest projectors, I already know this, but do not have the funds to do a retro.

 

Try this out..it looks pretty good

What k rating do you have?

Just so you know the glare may not be that bad especially if you have it aimed down...My dad has a stock 2003 BMW 3 series with HIDs and every single time I'm driving his car I get high flashed by oncoming traffic and he said it happens to him all the time...it's just the brightness...if you can see well...and cops dont' give you trouble...ur fine haha...and you get the satisfaction of then turning on your highbeams, just to show them that you can go even brighter ..good luck

 

i guess this is why aftermarket HIDs are illegal. they arent designed as well. i have NEVER had anyone flash me (with the headlights of their car)

 

Not even any of those cute Oklahoma college girls? That's a shame.

 

i've got the 5K kit. i don't think the casper shield will work on my H4 based bulbs....

 

i changed it for you

 

haha thanks for the clarification.

 

Try the shield Kruppa posted, can't hurt to try, and at least it is cheap. But if possible, I suggest you considering to save up some money and buy some 02-03 headlights. They are not that $$$ on eBay

 

yea havent gotten brighted much till this past week. Four times in 3 days is really bugging me. I dont understand why its happening so much lately. It was even worse in my dads X5 with HIDs. People were constantly just turning on their brights and leaving them on. I just be the jerk back and turn mine on too

 

Most of the time they are older drivers even with my wife's Murano I get flash too

 

sounds to me like it's inevitable anyways huh?

 

it's just driving around those uneven streets where oncoming traffic will see your lights flash as it goes up and down...i've been high beamed a few times but only when i'm either going uphill or those bumpy uneven roads. but if you have an aftermarket kit those will produce more glare which will look like you have your highs on hah

 

Check your bulbs and make sure you have D2Rs and not D2S if you have an aftermarket kit installed in your headlights. D2R are designed for reflector type headlight like our 02-03 Maximas, and D2S are for projector type headlights.

I had D2S bulbs in my AE headlights a while ago, and my light output was soooo strong that when I saw a cop get ahead of me I would turn into a side street to avoid putting him in the spot light. I would get flashed by oncoming drivers ALL the time it sucked really bad.

 

you do have rebased bulbs. If they fit into ur stock h4 housing, they are rebased.

 

Bro i get flashed at least 3 times on weeknights and countless times on the weekends and i have e46 projectors which are aimed unusually low and still get flashed

 

LOL REBASED LOL


its al about the reflector. they can come close with a depth adjustment, but itll never look factory.

 

Wow, you guys all seem to be getting flashed alot even with different HID setups. Funny thing is I've never been flashed ever in NJ, or even at school in Indiana.

 

stockers and I still get flashed. I say flash back!

 

ive never been flashed, even coming over hills and such.

 

I've never been flashed with the stock HIDs

 

That's just because you're ugly and chicks don't flash ugly guys like you.

 

wow if I may say so that was a "burn" on josh......

 

we all know what happens when George tries to "burn" me....

This...my favorite picture of Mr. Bauer:

 

Lol...that's quality picture above and it's clear who would win that war of low blows...anyways back to topic

I didn't think of this until now...I don't have any experience with Eyelids for the headlights so I could be totally wrong, but it doesn't seem from pictures I've seen that the light from headlights passes through them very well. I'm mentioning this because maybe the glare into oncoming driver's eyes could be reduced by installing these. Also, I have heard and assume it to be true that performing the AE mod to your headlights (making the housing black and not chrome and shiny) will also help to prevent glare...Just some ideas.

 

Don't sweet those old farts, Just give them the jersey state BIRD

 

george should learn his leason and leave josh alone. which reminds me...i guess i should leave him alone too

 

Well the e46 is lower than the max and it looks like you are at about stock height so you either need to lower your car or aim them down a little cause you shouldnt have a problem if it was done right.

 

I get flashed very rarely with stock HID's. It has to be mostly old farts that don't know what HID's are or something.

 

I haven't been brighted since I installed my retro'd projectors (I forgot to aim them). But now I'm going to england and they have to come off
