A buddy of mine was selling a set of HIDs(dont know the the K color but they were very white light output) so he let me install them on my truck and try them out,I did and yes I could see alot better but it had alot of glare. I got out on a 2 lane highway and got flashed by every other car. I really wanted them but I cant risk the safety and legal issue.

It's called headlight aim. I never get flashed.

I have had my 6000k for about 3 weeks now and no one flashing me, I have been behind several CHP officers and several city and county officers.

I haven't had anybody flash me with my 6000K HIDs, and I followed a friend and she said I wasn't blinding her. Its all about how you aim them. I had to aim them lower with the HIDs, but I've had no problems.
